British Columbia Switching to Permanent Daylight Saving Time

We’ll “spring forward” again when the clocks change this Sunday officially at 2 a.m.

But one Canadian province has just announced they’re doing it for the LAST TIME.

British Columbia will spring forward on this Sunday, March 8th and NOT fall back in November.

They’re switching to permanent Daylight Saving Time.

The Premier of BC David Eby announced the move yesterday.

He said it’s been a long time coming, and that changing the clocks twice a year causes “all types of problems,” including more car crashes.

Eby noted that they’d been waiting on California, Oregon, and Washington to do it with them. But U.S. states need congress to sign off, and they got sick of waiting.

Premier Eby said he hopes the move might “push” those states to do it now.

And maybe some provinces too?

Do you think Nova Scotia should do the same?
