Wut? How does that even work? So, you wake up in one city at 7am...drive an hour to another city, to start work at 8am...only to actually arrive at 7am, because they're an hour behind you?
Then you leave work at 5pm...drive an hour to get home...and walk in the door at 7pm? What the actual fuck?
Seriously, I'd rather switch back and forth twice a year, rather than twice every single day.
Wait till you try to catch a bus or ferry!
I live in Creston. This is how we currently live until the permanent change. Add on top of that the DST changes around us.
Now, at least well be on PDT permanently with Vancouver, but our eastern neighbors will so far still change time twice a year.
Yes. I haven't had daylight savings time my entire life. Changing clocks is fuckong stupid. Except when I lived it kelowna. I hated changing my clock twice a year there. Fuck daylight savings time. But yes sometimes you have to leave earlier because an hour away is on a different timezone
Yes, that's how things work when you live close to a time zone border. Doesn't really have anything to do with DST.
Most people living close to the BC<->AB or AB<->SK borders, for example, deal with this frequently, and stopping DST won't change that. You get used to it.
Would have thought this was a Beaverton.
What a fucking mess. We already had 3 different time zones in BC before this. I'm all for dropping time changes but it'd be great if we could all agree before charging ahead with it.
In this thread: people who only read the headline.
Guys, cities in BC always could do this. That's why at far-eastern BC they followed Mountain Time in some way or another. That's it. And in fact, they're looking into standardizing with the rest of BC, which if you had read the article you'd see.
Ok, but technically they've always been able to haven't they? There are already a handful of communities that don't do daylight savings. So why would that change? It doesn't necessarily mean that we're going to be dotted with communities that still change their time.
There's a number that follow Alberta time because they're much closer to Alberta centers they do the vast majority of their business with, like the Peace area of BC and SE near Cranbrook.
Exactly, so municipalities already had this ability. Basically they're only making it known that no municipality is obligated to fall in line. Logically there's no reason that anyone would choose to stay with the time change though, especially if Alberta is considering dropping it too.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of developers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
Daylight saving was great for creating needless work, I guess we will need to do something productive from hence forth.
Honestly we should add more timezones. How about a half hour offset for Vancouver Island to mirror NST!
This is getting dumber and dumber.
