@canada Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?

If yes, what would you prefer: year round daylight savings time (an extra hour of sunlight in the evening) or standard time (an extra hour of sunlight in the morning)?

In BC, we've switched to permanent PDT. But why are we still calling it pacific time? It's obviously Mountain Time.

    It’s always “Pacific”, regardless if it is ST or DST.

    The real fuckery is that the referendum gave us only two choices, not three:

    • Stay on flip-flopping time changes.
    • Go to permanent DST.

    There was no option for permanent Standard Time, so everyone chose the least-worst option instead of the much better one that wasn’t even provided.
