B.C. Premier David Eby said that following the upcoming time change on Sunday morning, when the clocks will “spring forward,” there will be no further time changes.
It is amazing how Saskatchewan has always been able to figure it out, and how the Yukon figured it out years ago. Now I know BC has a bigger population than the 2 combined but I am sure they will figure things out, and easily.
How do I figure it will be easy to figure out? Besides for the Yukon being able to do it let me tell you a story: I was in university and had just got a new phone, for whatever reason it was set to Manitoba’s time zone. One Monday I slept in longer than I was expecting, or slept to my normal time I do not remember, my alarm went off I looked at my phone and got ready for the day rather fast and to the university. I got to the classroom and opened the door expecting to apologize for being late, it was a 300 level class so there would have been at most 12 people in the room. Turns out I burst into a class that I was not taking, my class did not start for another hour, I looked at my laptop and I looked at my phone then realized that time changed in Manitoba. I fixed the time zone on my phone and it was easy peasy I did not need to worry about it again.
Saskatchewan has never celebrated this DST stuff you talk about, yet we still manage to get things done on time even when the sun rises earlier or falls later. Plus we do not see an increase of car accidents and heart problems during the two weeks of the year after each time change.
Enjoy permanent DST. We’ll see you cancel it next year when you all realize being an hour ahead of the sun is not great in winter… again.

Saskatchewan isn’t on DST, though… “Amazing how others have figured this out by doing the opposite of it” is not the winning argument you think it is.

Better than it going dark before 5PM.
I live in one of the towns in BC that just didn’t observe DST before this new time zone thing.
There is no issue, I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Time zones and DST are arbitrary, people just get used to them.
