Time changes most of English Canada moving to permanent Daylight Savings Time

Despite most Albertans voting in a 2021 referendum to retain the semi-annual clock changes, the UCP government changed us to permanent daylight savings time this autumn. (which fact shows how little the UCP government apparently cares about how people vote in referendums)

Thus Alberta has switched to using Manitoba Standard time year-round.

Edmontonians whether they want to or not, will see how they like the sun coming up at 9:30 on Christmas morning!

With Manitoba deciding to be on Central Time all the year round, AI online says: "Manitoba will remain one hour ahead of Saskatchewan and Alberta, and two hours ahead of British Columbia".

But actually with BC going back one hour this autumn (retaining its semi-annual clock change) and Alberta and Saskatchewan switching to Manitoba Standard year-round, Alberta and Sask are two hours off of BC and Manitoba is three hours off of BC.

Meanwhile northwest Ontario, which shares time zone with Manitoba, is also going to permanent DST (Central Standard) this autumn, and the rest of Ontario will fall back to Central Standard this autumn as part of its semi-annual clock changes.

so at 7 o'clock BC time the clocks will show:

starting November 1 change to Standard in many places - BC and south Ontario)

BC AB/SK MB/NW ON Sth ON

7 o'clock 9 o'clock 10 o'clock 10 o'clock

next spring (change to DST in many places - BC and Southern Ontario)

BC AB/SK MB/NW ON Sth ON(

8 o'clock (DST) 9 o'clock 10 o'clock 11 o'clock

==============

the question is whether to retain semi-annual clock change

but also if you do go to permanent time zone, do you go to DST or to Standard?

In 2021 most Albertans picked semi-annual change over going to permanent DST, but now we have permanent DST anyway.

If permanent Standard had been an option, most Albertans might have picked that over either semi-annual clock changes or permanent DST.
