According to the environment canada weather page, we actually got 1 
minute less sunlight today than yesterday.  I understand about solar 
noon (I think), so I'm not really expecting sunrise to be earlier each 
day...but the total hours of sunlight should be increasing, not 
decreasing, after the solstice, I thought.  What up with that?  Is it 
perhaps some rounding issue with the Environment Canada calculator?  I 
get the same result (less sunlight time, when I go to the NOAA solar 
Calculator)
Thanks.
