eleven days just gone

eleven days vanished in 1752 and people in halifax just went to bed on september 2 and woke up on september 14. the part that gets me is the acadians had been on the new calendar for generations already, so the british were the ones catching up. imagine losing almost two weeks and still having to show up for your shift. lowkey makes the daylight saving grumble feel cute #halifax #history https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/date-change-british-empire-1752-11-days-9.7404255?cmp=rss
