I prefer the changes, here in ADT if we didn't change the mornings in
winter would be ghastly, not daylight until around 9 a.m. - think kids
walking to school in the dark.

That could be remedied shifting school hours an hour, but then it would
be dark when kids were going home from school, and that is down here in
southern Ontario, most of the country is way north of us and in the
winter they could be going to school in the dark and coming home in the
dark.

I thought that, in Canada, kids were taken to school in an armoured
vehicle, with a bodyguard on either side.

That's just in nothern Canada. Young seal kids are taken to seal
kindergarten that way. Protects them from the Polar Bear gangs.
