British Columbia’s move to permanent daylight time has reignited conversations across the country about scrapping biannual time changes. Premier David Eby announces the province will permanently adopt daylight time, speaking at a news conference on Monday. Yukon moved to permanent daylight time in 2020 after a government survey found 93 per cent of respondents wanted to end seasonal time changes. But Shone wants to see permanent standard — not daylight — time, and was disappointed by B.C. Some studies have also found increases in car crashes, and that judges even give harsher legal sentences the day after switching to daylight saving time.
