Here is the petition for Canada to standardise on standard time.

Health research supports staying with standard time. Staying with daylight savings may be good for business, but businesses can adjust, while our bodies can't.

BC didn't get rid of it. Now it's permanent.

My understanding is that most people want to stop switching, but its split on which side to stay on.

It's "Daylight Saving", not "Savings".

I predict this will end at 9 AM Pacific Daylight Time one morning next December, when the sun still hasn't risen in Vancouver.
