Okay, we all know that Daylight savings day is coming but in Mexico the time is still gonna stay the same. This makes no sense whatsoever. For example, in San Diego (where I live), the time will advance one hour but while in Tijuana the time will stay one hour behind. WTF? Why is it this? TJ and SD are in the exact same time zones? Why is it like this? This makes absolutely no sense!

Depends if the government wants to go with daylight savings or not. Apparently Daylight Savings saves a ton of money on electricity (everyone's awake during daylight so there's less need for lights in the house)

Yes it is annoying and it particularly annoys me because I watch live overseas TV broadcasts and it throws off my schedule.

Arizona is in the same time zone as my home province, Alberta. Yet Alberta does Daylight Savings and Arizona doesn't. Saskatchewan doesn't do it either. Don't ask me why this is, it just is. :?

You want absurdity? Look within your own country. Indiana has a certain district that doesn't change, when the rest does.

My bad, it's Indiana. Here's a Wiki page on it. Last year, though, they voted that the whole state should observe DST.

Maybe they are just too lazy to turn their clocks back. Zing! Sorry.
