I often wonder how headline writers (often different than the writers of the article) can so often get basic meaning wrong in their headlines. Take this one: “Canadians get ready to set clocks forward amid U.S. push to end daylight saving time”.

The US is not pushing to end DST, the push is to end changing from standard to daylight by *keeping* Daylight Savings Time permanently. A subtle, but very consequential distinction.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio last week reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act that would allow states to make daylight time permanent.
