Why the Delay? Other Bills were shoved through quickly and Illegally. This could be done just as quick.

Eby working on the ongoing "trade war" that isn't even a trade war by pulling liquor off of the shelves. Tolling USA vehicles. What a piece of work.

Not entirely true. Horgan was gonna push for it and then a little thing called COVID appeared and priorities changed. Don't make dumb statements.

And then Eby was going to do it but only after he had consulted with his socialist buddies in Washington, Oregon and California.

It’s time to just do it… Majority wanted it , it shouldn’t take much time to pass it as there should be no debate?

Eby, using the trade war as an excuse to not follow through with a promise that was made many years ago is a poor excuse to not put a little work into something very simple. NOT Changing the clocks is detrimental to the health and well-being’ of all Canadians. As for BC this should’ve been done so long ago. I used to live in Creston BC where there’s no time change and why this town doesn’t do the time change is beyond me and quite frankly, I don’t really care, but what I do know is, it was a huge benefit for all residents of this town. It’s a no brainer. Your only focus is not on the trade war Eby!

Gee sorry your so busy Eby, that you can't take 5 mins out of your day to sign the document to stop the time change. Maybe shorten a coffee break by 5 mins and just get it done for crying out loud!

Actually it does solve issues with sleep depravation etc.

It's proven that it can cause accidents etc.

Just leave it alone and never change it. Makes life easier for everyone.

I seem to recall John Horgan wanting to wait for the US - for "business" reasons - like we don't do business with people in the eastern time zone? or overseas? So that is a non reason. Eby is just as useless spouting a trade war that he has no balls in. Sign the GD bill and lets stop talking about it.
