Premier #Eby has made a lot of bad decisions, but this has to be one of the -- forgive me -- dumbest ideas I've ever heard of.

Every health expert agrees that permanent *standard* time is the best for us, yet he goes and chooses the worst option 🤦‍♂️ #DST #BC

B.C. axes time change, March 8 to be last

Time changes in B.C. are about to be a thing of the past, with the province axing the twice-annual tradition in favour of permanent Daylight Savings Time.

@mindbat While I'd definitely prefer standard time at this point I'm resigned to DST as it seems that's going to be the standard. While not ideal it is better than changing twice a year. I expect Alberta will follow suit soon.

I honestly expect that in more northern areas there may be pushback on the change after a couple of years. 10am sunrise in Edmonton may not be popular. :)

@Chigaze Yeah, I definitely don't want to change time twice a year anymore.

Just not looking forward to those late (9am down here) winter sunrises, as you pointed out 😬
