BC daylight saving time is permanent now. You're the one who has to live with what comes next. Your Vancouver winter solstice sunrise lands at nine in the morning. Your Sunday football begins an hour later. Cross into Washington state between November and February and you step backward through time the moment you hit the border. You said yes to this in 2019. What exactly did you agree to?

Bob Addison lives fifteen minutes from the American border and he's already calculating what winter looks like now. The extra bar hour at 2 a.m. when clocks fall back is gone forever. Prince George starts its winter days in the dark until 9:30. Alberta sits wedged between two provinces that both stopped changing clocks, with nobody clear on what that means. The announcement was made at an elementary school, soundtracked by Daft Punk.

Circadian rhythm won the 2019 argument. The time zone math didn't come up until this week. BC chose permanent summer; dark December mornings are part of the deal. Eve's rule: it's only a problem if you think about it. Bob is going to think about it for the next eight months.
