While the Province of B.C. has legislation allowing for abolishing standard time, people are still required to set their clocks an hour ahead before turning in tonight.

Daylight saving time will begin at 2 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, March 13 and will last until 2 a.m. Nov. 6.

The B.C. government laid out plans for permanent daylight saving time in 2019, but it is dependent on the U.S. states of California, Oregon and Washington also approving changes.

Not all British Columbians are for permanent daylight saving time however. In a social media post reminding people to set their clocks and promoting the movie The Adam Project, actor Ryan Reynolds expresses his disdain.

鈥淚 still think [daylight saving time] is so stupid,鈥� Reynolds said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 idiotic,鈥� said co-star Mark Ruffalo.

Premier John Horgan agreed, writing back that changing the clocks 鈥榮ucks鈥�.

鈥淲e鈥檝e always said it makes sense for BC to stay aligned with our southern neighbours in WA, OR and CA. Once they get congressional approval, we鈥檒l end the time changes here in BC for good.鈥�

The Yukon and parts of Saskatchewan have implemented permanent daylight saving time, meaning they won鈥檛 have to worry about 鈥渟pringing ahead.鈥�

As if making hadn鈥檛 satisfied enough of my childhood dreams, this happened. (I still loathe Daylight Savings.)
