    Ok, but technically they’ve always been able to haven’t they? There are already a handful of communities that don’t do daylight savings. So why would that change? It doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re going to be dotted with communities that still change their time.

      There’s a number that follow Alberta time because they’re much closer to Alberta centers they do the vast majority of their business with, like the Peace area of BC and SE near Cranbrook.

        Exactly, so municipalities already had this ability. Basically they’re only making it known that no municipality is obligated to fall in line. Logically there’s no reason that anyone would choose to stay with the time change though, especially if Alberta is considering dropping it too.
