Cool, maybe the rest of Canada will follow?

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.

Recent actions from the U.S. have shifted how B.C. approaches decisions that merit alignment, including on time zones.
Thanks Trump :D
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).
oh no, an update to tzdata coming
Servers that don't update = minor Y2K. But only for small websites/businesses/servers and that won't affect anything important. Who doesn't update their server for months, knowing this change is coming, right?
It should be fun!
It blows me away that we change the clock to meet corporate time tables vs having flexible work days.
And not like it makes a damn difference anyways. It’s gonna be extra dark outside regardless of if we fuck with everyone’s schedule or not. One hour doesn’t make a significant difference in the amount of light we get in a day when we still just work for 8-9 hours of the day inside of a building.
About damn time!
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 don't give a flying fuck if we stay on DST or ST, just stop the seasonal switches. High noon is already inaccurate the further you move from the "center" of a timezone.
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.
