they're always on in Ontario. All new cars sold in the province since - oh, ages ago, 1993 or something - have to have daytime headlights installed.
The daytime lights are actually not the same as the nighttime headlights - the latter are considerably brighter, having to light your path; the daytime ones are to let others know you're there.
It really does increase safety; like a centre brake light at eye-level for a car driver behind you.
