To Observe Or Not To Observe

Although not used by most of the world's people, daylight saving time is common in the Northern Hemisphere high latitudes.
  DST observed
  DST no longer observed
  DST never observed


I've heard, time and time again, how:

"Most of the world is on some form of 'daylight savings time', and it just makes sense for Saskatchewan to 'catch up' with the rest of the world."

Well, most of the world IS NOT on DST! It is just a vast minority who are slaves to DST! Saskatchewan should stay the course and resist the onslaught of dumb-asses who want DST and the rest of North America should abandon the money wasting DST! Most business owners who run international businesses, loath DST, so why do some jurisdictions (Provinces, Territories and States), insist on following this waste of time and money we call Daylight Savings Time? I'd like some thoughts on this.
