... Most British Columbians will change their clocks for the last time this Sunday. B.C. is permanently adopting daylight time, making its "spring forward" on March 8 the last time change, Premier David Eby announced Monday. "We are done waiting. British Columbia is going to change our clocks just one more time " and then never again," Eby said. He said changing the clocks causes "all types of problems," from children and their parents losing sleep, to dogs getting up at the wrong time, to more car accidents. ...

How long before the United States follows our great friends to the north and adapts a year-round time standard that does not involve time shifts?

Yeah.
As I was posting that, I wondered if just noting BC would cause confusion.
That's why I went with Brit. Col.,CA.
Of course, then that leads to a confusion with California.
So many abbreviations, so little time ...

Yeah, that seems to be an issue when DST becomes the year-round standard.
What are the effects of that?
Here in CT, there seems to be a loud voice expressing a concern about school children suddenly having to be at the bus-stops in darkness.

@#7
I'm of two conflicting views at this point.
While one side of me looks at the health issues caused by the time shift...
Another side of me looks at the annoyance of the time change.
At this point, here in the US, I would just wish we settle upon one way to go forward.
And adapt to it as our Country has always done to problems it faces.

I agree. But if they pick one, it should be standard time, not stupid daylight time.

@#9 ... But if they pick one ...
I do not care which one is chosen.
My view ...
Chose one, either of the two.
Then let the people adapt to the new paradigm going forward.

Yeah. Before I opened the thread, I thought Britain, Colorado and California had dropped DST.
