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.
Exactly. People tend to blame the winter darkness on the clock change but even if we didn’t change our clocks, winter only gives us about 9 hours of sunlight during the shortest days of winter.
Yeah like, whoopidee doo, it’s light out during the morning while I’m off to work, I sure do get to enjoy that glimpse of daylight during my commute! Gonna be dark after I’m done regardless of the extra hour.
Finally!
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).
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
Trump changing space-time
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.
My cats also get confused, and then they get pushy about it.
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.
Ontario also has this law in place just waiting for Quebec and New York to make the move too.
We don’t give a fuck what the US does anymore.
I’m hoping they follow BC and decide they don’t need to wait for the US.
I think to remember that Québec has the same law and we are all just waiting for New York…
Please yes.
Holy crap YES!!!
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!
This Saskatchewan resident welcomes BC to the more sane way of life!
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 does happen every few months.
We are indeed living in interesting times…
Come on, Oregon, do the thing.
About damn time!
…or is it about an hour from damn time? I can never remember.
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.
As a Saskatchewanian, I am so happy for BC!
This makes me so happy!
What if there was a standard time to move to? Wouldn’t that be the standard?
Daylight Savings Time, or Summer Time, is in use for 9 months of the year, and is thus the de facto standard. Daylight Wasting Time, or Winter Time, is only in use for 3 months of the year, which makes it the exception.
