B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time | CBC News March 8 will be the last time British Columbians have to change their clocks, B.C. Premier David Eby announced Monday.

More than 80% of people consistently cited their preference for permanent daylight savings in polls, there’s a realm of data that says it supports better outcomes, and it’s very fun when a government can say “we control how time works”.

About a slam dunk win as you can get these days.

Seeds for Sale. We have seeds for sale at our farm gate, 2871 Steveston Highway, by the west dyke. We sell organic vegetable seed varieties that we have grown on our farm for 100 years. They are very well adapted to our climate.

When I spoke to ABC Cllr Lenny Zhou this week, I asked him whether he had posted a retraction & apology video in Mandarin on WeChat, the app where his video spreading misinformation was originally posted. He hasn't done so, days later, as far as I know. It's not enough to quietly delete the post.

If it goes through I hope they keep the Stan Douglas’s Abbot & Cordova, 7 August 1971 artwork up. Where the police violently broke up the Smoke-In, a peaceful protest.

Would say this covers both crushes from (l) then and now(r). Dooley is like Thelma Ritter in this film.
