Some US states have done this as well (Arizona), and Europe is also going this route.

Let's hope they keep things the way they are.

sorry if i'm misunderstanding this post, but should this be green text?
who cares if westjet or the flames have scheduling issues? having to adjust for DST twice a year has an appreciably negative effect on the human body which affects every single person who lives here

I wonder what it would be like living in India or China with only one time-zone and no DST. Then you have a 2 hours offset between cities in China and India that are right below one another.

Glad to see the only options in the poll are "Year Round Daylight Time" or keep switching clocks.
The only outcome I am against is year round standard time!

Any way, my opinion on the matter remains unchanged. I would like to see it ended, but only on a national scale. Not piecemeal.

While not on a national scale, isn’t BC already switching? So if AB does, then that’d be all of BC/SK/AB, abolishing the time change. I don’t think it’d be long before the rest would follow suit.
I think a bunch of States on the west coast have decided to go permanent DST as well.

Yeah, BC is switching because Washington and California are as well (not sure about Oregon).

I will have to read up on how they did that, because Florida wanted to do the same last year but were blocked by an absurdity in US federal law: States could choose to observe seasonal DST or remain on standard time. But the law does not allow them to remain on daylight savings time permanently. Seems at first glance that California and Washington will have the same issue Florida did.

the bc govenment has introduced legislation, but will do nothing until they see what happens south of the border.

But before any changes are made, Eby said the government wants to ensure B.C. stays on the same time as its trading partners in the western U.S. states of Washington, Oregon and California.

No, move the hour, a half an hour instead of sticking with Standard or Daylight.

Not supposed to be green text at all, I was just pointing out the Alberta NHL teams were not in favor nor was (IIRC) Westjet.
Flames and Oilers because they play in the Pacific division and their road divisional games all start at 8:00 or 8:30pm Alberta time. Depending on how the clocks are changed this potentiall changes to a 9:00 or 9:30 Alberta start assuming the western States and BC do not adopt the same change. Their argument is their fans will not stay up until midnight or later to watch their road games on TV.
WestJet because Calgary being one of their hubs they would need to reschedule half their flight twice a year at either the origin or destination in order to keep the time constant at the other end. Likely at the departure end for flights coming to Calgary that are adjusted in order to keep the departure banks at YYC consistent. Not always a convenient or easy thing to do. For example in the winter the first flight from Regina to Calgary departs at 7am in order to arrive at 7:20 in time for connecting flights. That same flight departs Regina at 6AM in the winter and still arrives at the same time because Sask does not change their clocks.

thanks for the response. i framed my post that way because it makes sense and i understand why businesses would want to keep DST, but I was wondering why you hoped for it to stay the same personally after giving those reasons

Nearly every post in this thread:
As for Westjet and hockey teams, their argument is simply to stay in line with the others - CA, BC, and WA should be enough of a critical mass. Even if the east didn't adopt this change for a while, it would be a net benefit for the hockey teams (really Rogers) - eastern road games starting at 6pm Calgary time would get more viewers than current 5pm starts.
All airlines will have a headache for the years it takes to achieve uniformity across the continent. California should be the biggest catalyst...
