No the OP, but I'm also in BC and dislike this change.

The change was made (partly) based on a bullshit poll of residents, that asked basically "Hey which would you rather do, use year-round Daylight Savings Time or keep switching every six months?" - notably not including the option a lot of people wanted (and which is well-supported by a lot of research as the best option), which was "use year-round Standard Time".

And then in a bunch of press conferences and answers to the public, they would say "oh, this is what people chose" from the poll.

BC resident. I do look forward to not adjusting to a twice-annual time change. BUT, I would have strongly preferred sticking to Standard Time, year round, instead of DST. That option was apparently not on the table, and strangely got little mention or investigation by media.

So a daily event approximating High Noon is literally gone forever here. Yes yes, depending on longitude, it was never there, but now it's even farther away. Life goes on...
