Cool, maybe the rest of Canada will follow?

    Yukon and Saskatchewan already don't change their clocks.

    I work in BC and Yukon and I always have to check if we are on the same time or and hour difference because I can never remember.

    Going forward BC and Yukon will always be on the same time.

    The legeslation has been in place for years, but we held off because we didn't want to be out of sync with Washington, Oregon, and California.

    From https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2026AG0013-000209:

    Recent actions from the U.S. have shifted how B.C. approaches decisions that merit alignment, including on time zones.

    Thanks Trump :D

    This Saskatchewan resident welcomes BC to the more sane way of life!

    I'm so excited for this. Even working from home I hate changing time cause it still messes with my sleep schedule and my cats feeding schedule.

    Very good! Changing the clock twice a year is an insanity people accept as normal, and that shouldn't be the case. Please let Ontario be next (I know of weak sauce Bill 214).

    It blows me away that we change the clock to meet corporate time tables vs having flexible work days.

    Nice! The world has been so shit for years now, I didn't expect this kind of bottom-of-the-list legislation to pass until like 2056. Glad someone cares enough to sweat the small stuff. I hope the other provinces follow suit. Last I heard, Ontario was in a deadlock because NY State didn't want to budge on it, but you know, elbows up!

    What if there was a standard time to move to? Wouldn't that be the standard?

    Goodbye to "high noon", "mid-day" and accurate sundials. Stupid to legislate an idiotic idea like "daylight savings" into permanence. But typical for morons to not think things through.

    At least stopping the unhealthy, dangerous practice of time change is a step in the right direction.

    I with it was permanent standard time, I am very sad they decided on year-round daylight.

    Now I’m waiting for Australia to stick to one; then there won’t be a two hour staggered swing in time difference twice a year.
