This is true. Ireland, UK, NL, Denmark, northern Germany and northern
Poland are at a similar latitude to Polar Bear Provincial Park by Hudson
Bay. With DST, we get much more usable evenings March through October, and
the sun rises at 05:00 instead of 04:00 in the morning, so early risers
don't get woken up at 4 every day. During the winter, regular time means
that we have sunrise after 08:30 for 5 weeks. At this latitude, DST is
serious win.
