      Hockey fans are not going to like the change. We already complain a lot about 8pm start times for games in California, now they will be 9pm start times.

      The rest of the Canada needs to be like Alberta

      Didn’t see myself saying that in 2026 lol

      Science has shown that standard time is better than DST.

      However I’ll take either over switching ever again.

      Well, I guess we’re the last holdout in western Canada. Your move, Wab.

      Alberta now is the second Province to follow BC! With how much travel that happens between Alberta and BC it would have been inconvenient for that travel to involve a time change for half the year sometime when only driving a few hours.

      That’s great. It would be somewhat funny if adoption happened in the inverse direction of the sun.

      Saskatchewan now has the ball in its court. And if they do, it puts pressure on Manitoba.
      And if it gets that far, I can’t see Ford not pouncing on a popular measure, and it it does, Quebec will move in sync with Ontario.

      I bet the people in states directly south of our provinces are also hoping to see this cascade throughout Canada since a timezone shift while traveling south would make no sense.

      Edit: I stand corrected, Saskatchewan is already on standard time.

      Meanwhile in Eastern Canada.

      * Ontario: „I’ll do it if you two do it.“
      * Quebec: „Je le ferai si vous deux le faites.“
      * New York: „Who are you and why do you keep calling me.“

      Good. BC went ahead and did it, now Alberta is on board. Saskatchewan and Yukon are already on permanent DT. Time for the rest of Canada to get with the program. Stop waiting for the USA to get their act together.

      Such easy political points for any governing party in any province. Just do it already

    21. Canadianman22 on

      Good. Come on Ford and just pull the trigger in Ontario so we stay on DST year round.

      People complain about how hard it is to wake up in the morning then ask for daylight saving time so they can wake up one hour earlier than they would on standard.

      „Useable sunlight hours“ like winter will suck less when the sun only gets up at 9am is laughable.

      Here’s hoping NB follows suit. But all of Atlantic would have to do the same

      Just want time to pause, every switch just causes damage. Work is poor, kids are slow, more accidents on way to work. Just pick a time and keep it already.

      Ontario too! Because I refuse to change my clock again. Who’s with me? If we all band together this might work. (it would be hilarious if IT guys actually modded timezone and NTP sources to implement this).

      Sleep doctors will not be happy! They strongly advocated for permanent standard time as it’s far healthier, apparently

    31. -SpruceMoose on

      Should stay on Standard time.

      Even a easy W like this she still screws up. Not to mention there was a referendum to stay on daylight time a few years ago that was narrowly defeated.

      Daylight Savings Time is such a stupid idea in the modern day. It was designed by someone in the 19th century to save candle oil, candle oil is not a concern anymore and electricity is cheap enough to just leave lights on for an extra hour a day. It messes with people’s sleep which causes car accidents literally killing people. The upsides are we save some electricity, the downsides are everyone is less productive and people literally die.
