Apparently, unknown to all of us, the Yukon Territory did so six years ago.

No disrespect intended to the good people there, but the Yukon Territory really isn't on Americans' radar, unless it would be Alaskans.

I have to imagine, with being so far north, and the extremes of daylight and dark you have there at various times of the year, being on either standard time or DST wouldn't make that much of a difference in people's lives.

Which is why I was surprised Paul never mentioned it, since until recently he was based in McGrath, AK.

Yeah, I believe that's the one and from one of my posts, none theless LOL.

Trust me- the two Vancouvers are in different decades already, so being in different time zones is no big deal LOL.

The state legislatures of WA OR and CA, along with the provincial gov't of BC, all voted back in 2019 to move to permanent DST. However, the US states have to be allowed to do so by Congress, which is where all good ideas go to die. Apparently BC got fed up waiting on Washington DC, wich given the current climate between the two nations I absolutely get.

Living as I do about 30 minutes S of the border, I get a fair amount of media from Vancouver (the BC one)- so this will be a little interesting in the winter I suppose. People mostly use their phone for their clock these days, which automatically ties into and updates with whatever tower is serving the phone. My friends up near the border are constantly getting "captured" by the stronger Rogers Mobile signal and so I suppose that will affect things like their alarm clocks. Weird unintended consequences.

Not totally accurate, at least where California is concerned.

The voters passed Proposition 7 in 2018, which authorized the state Legislature to implement year-round DST on a two-thirds vote of both the Assembly and the Senate, and subsequent Congressional approval.

So far, that has not happened, although a bill was introduced in 2024 to put California on year-round Standard Time. It stalled in committee.

Why are we still changing our clocks for daylight saving time?

Here's why America still changes its clocks twice a year and what it would take for the time change tradition to end for California.

That reminds me of something that happened to me several times when I lived in Quito. I had acquaintances wonder why we were so backwards that we did not go on Daylight Savings Time "like we do here". What they did not understand is that Quito is just a few miles south of the Equator and daylight and darkness periods are almost identical every day of the year.

You mentioned Quito and that of course made me think of HCJB. I got my first short wave radio for Christmas of '87 (I believe it was), when I was ten and spent every moment of Christmas Break and every moment I could every night I could thereafter, tuning around (and more times than not, sitting on one station LOL) that radio. I remember, it had (reckon it must have been) two meters on it, along with TV and of course AM and FM. I believe it was a Patrolman, but I've strayed way off here. One of those stations I got stuck on at night (along with WWV that New Years Eve LOL), was HCJB, can't remember when I found them.

I remember being up (literally) in the Crossville, TN area, which is the timezone line for slow Time (Central) and below them is Fast Time (Eastern), Rockwood, etc. The DJ said, 11:06 on the mountain, 12:06 in the valley. This was normal, due to the line, etc.

WMBW 88.9 FM in Chattanooga announces the time for Eastern and Central time zones. There signal covers portions of 4 states here in the south.

Roger on that, I can remember hearing them in Robbinsville, NC, as well. Do they still have WMKW, Crossville? Besides their own personal footprint, 'MKW played/plays into them giving that info, too.
