    People who don’t like DST are just self centered.

    They don’t like it because moving the clocks by an hour twice a year slightly inconveniences them

      If you’re a farmer, all your animals don’t know about dst. You have to change your whole daily routine now.

          That’s not an issue at all during summer. Do you really need sunlight until 22:00 at night? Right now you basically cannot be outdoors during summer nights because it’s too hot in the direct sunlight. By the time it cools down enough to be outdoors it’s already time for bed.

          The best parts of summer nights are when the sun goes down and the world finally cools down enough to be outdoors. We should move the clock an hour back in summer to get more of that. Call it Moonlight Saving Time.

            I NEVER get sunlight at 22:00 at night, spring ahead or not.

              I live in northern Europe, summer days are long. We don’t get actual night for several months (best we get is astronomical twilight for a few hours). DST makes no sense here.

      Welp, I guess 93% of the people in British Columbia are self-centred, because that’s how many of us voted to end DST. Thankfully, our government finally decided to stop waiting for the US to follow suit and we’ve now ended it.

      If you like DST, just be aware that you aren’t in the majority; you’re the outlier.
