WINNIPEG, MB
There was a buzz in the quilting room at South Kildonan MB this afternoon after the province announced there would be permanent daylight savings.
“Oba, I expect savings during an MCC bag sale now and then,” said Mrs. Anne Driedger, “but savings anytime there’s daylight yet? Will wonders never cease.”
The announcement was met with much rejoicing throughout the province’s Mennonite community, who can never turn down a good savings.
“From sunrise to sunset there’ll be savings,” said Mrs. Driedger. “This is almost as good as the Eaton’s basement.”
Some, however, are a little worried about these permanent savings.
“Who’s going to come to my garage sales anymore?” said Mrs. Loewen. “I guess I’ll have to schedule them for the middle of the night when these daylight savings do not apply.”
The announcement is considered of profound historic importance as it was the first time the NDP ever did something the Mennonites like.
