Show Notes
Back in 2019, Matt had Tara Holmes on his former show, The Hot Air Podcast, to discuss her campaign for the province of British Columbia to do away with the time change for daylight savings each spring and autumn. At the time, he laughed at it. Fast‑forward to March 2, 2026: it’s now official. When British Columbians spring forward to daylight saving time, they won’t be changing their clocks back again. Turns out Tara's Stop the Time Change initiative outlasted the podcast she first appeared on.
Matt looks back at Tara's Hot Air interview and examines how public opinion, health data, politics, and international momentum all converged to make the end of changing the clocks a reality. He also shares why he’s still firmly against permanent standard time—especially in Manitoba—and why he’s (grudgingly) on board with year‑round daylight saving time.
