Huh, my wife says you’re right.

Same as BC for 4 months. Same as Saskatchewan for 8 months.

Here's our chance to be Newfoundland west.

We'll have the same time as BC, which I like.

No kidding, if you don't like dark in the morning just sleep in.

Winter is a write off anyways.

We live in a desolate place humans never should have settled in year-round.

Start the work/school day an hour later. Pretty sure thats something the UCP would be on board with given that they're the rebellious teenagers of provincial governments.

Not all of BC is following the change. Invermere etc will stay MST I believe

If more of the country would agree to do this at the National level, I would be on board with this. Now that Saskatchewan and B.C. are both doing this its a bit more logical for Alberta to do the same. Back when the motion was tabled I voted against it at the time because not enough other jurisdictions were doing it.

IIRC there is a particular area within Arizona that rejects daylight savings and a small island within it that implements it.

At least we haven't reached that level.

It's going to suck watching the Flames out here when they are on eastern road trips, especially those stupid matinee games.

You prefer a 4:00 game over a 5:00 start?

Or 10:00/11:00 vs 11:00/12:00?

I have a feeling that I might feel dumb in a minute because maybe I am thinking about this wrong.

But if everyone puts their clocks ahead next week but then in the autumn, everyone in the EST puts their clocks back an hour while BC doesn't, wouldn't that put BC +4 hours ahead of EST? So a 7 pm start out east would be a 3 pm start in BC? And a 12 pm game out east would be a 8 AM game in BC?

Bear with me, I have been pretty flaky lately.

Sometimes it's simpler to just think about this in terms of UTC. BC is going to UTC-7. The eastern time zone is UTC-4 (summer) or UTC-5 (winter). So either two hours or three hours difference going forward.
