- patmcc 4mo agoThis is exactly what I mention in a sibling comment - an incredibly misleading survey is quoted here to make it look like there was overwhelming support. >>>More than 93% of the record 223,273 British Columbians who completed the Province’s survey on time observance have indicated they would prefer a move to permanent daylight saving time (DST). Sticking with Standard Time was not an option listed in that survey.
- charles_f 4mo agoAh, you mean picking pst as the permanent timezone?
- patmcc 4mo agoYeah; you can see some of the rationale here - https://savestandardtime.com/ https://savestandardtime.com/ (not affiliated, and they're a little wacky about it, but I broadly agree) - but the best argument is it seems to be better for sleep.
