Daylight saving time arrives next week and it's coming for your Sunday morning. You lose an hour of sleep, drag through Monday in a fog, and spend the week quietly convinced someone should just fix this already. BC Premier David Eby just decided to do exactly that, opting out permanently. The rest of Canada still falls back in November. You don't get that choice.

Here's what nobody tells you: farmers have hated daylight saving time since 1919, when the agriculture industry actively lobbied against it. They got associated with loving it only because they were the loudest voice in opposition. Dairy cows don't understand why the milking schedule shifted, and livestock don't adjust. Farm workers lose an hour of productive daylight every spring while still clocking out at the same time. Saskatchewan figured this out decades ago and quietly stopped participating.

The time change isn't ancient farm wisdom protecting harvest schedules. It was a wartime workaround from World War One that outlived its reason by a century. BC just made that argument official.
