British Columbia's Premier David Eby is urging West Coast governors to align with the province's decision to adopt permanent daylight time. In a letter to governors Bob Ferguson, Tina Kotek, and Gavin Newsom, Eby emphasizes the benefits of permanent daylight time for public well-being and the economic integration of the Cascadia region. Despite potential trade challenges between the U.S. and Canada, Eby values the close relationship between B.C., Washington state, Oregon, and California. He advocates for the end of time zone changes and the authorization of the U.S. Congress to make the switch. However, Eby acknowledges that the U.S. Congress has yet to approve a law allowing states to adopt permanent daylight time, and the letter is copied to the congressional delegations of the three states.
