As British Columbia officially pulls the plug on the twice-yearly clock change, we're asking: why is Ontario still stuck in the past?

This week, Ryan joins us from Aruba (where they've already figured it out) to debate why we're still "springing forward" and "falling back" in Centre Wellington. We dig into the health impacts, the historical "farming" myths, and why your sleep schedule is still at the mercy of New York and Quebec.

Plus, we talk tropical travel, the ultimate HBO binge-watch list, and a quick update on the future look of the show.

With a record-breaking amount of snow in Ontario, Centre Wellington is officially a winter wonderland—whether we like it or not ! This week, Ryan Joyce and Barbara Lustgarten-Evoy talk about keeping sane during the deep freeze and look ahead to an action-packed March .
