    It's a done deal. Daylight Saving Time forever in BC starts March 8.

    I am not celebrating.

    I am not celebrating either. I just read the article on CBC.
    Annoying though it is, alternating between Daylight and Standard time is a good compromise.
    Having sun rise at about 9 am DST all through December is ridiculous in my opinion.

    So we're not going to wait so as to align with the States. I wonder what businesses think about this decision.

    I can't understand, how the wrong reading on clocks at the noon and at the midnight is supposed to be a win for businesses?

    Permanent daylight? 24 hours per day, all year? Now there's an interesting idea! :-)

    How are they going to enforce it?

    What they save from the daytime, they use at night. :)
