That law, voted years ago, has overwhelming public support (including mine). Source: an actual source^1

This is exactly what I mention in a sibling comment - an incredibly misleading survey is quoted here to make it look like there was overwhelming support.

>>More than 93% of the record 223,273 British Columbians who completed the Province’s survey on time observance have indicated they would prefer a move to permanent daylight saving time (DST).

Sticking with Standard Time was not an option listed in that survey.

Ah, you mean picking pst as the permanent timezone?

Yeah; you can see some of the rationale here - https://savestandardtime.com/ (not affiliated, and they're a little wacky about it, but I broadly agree) - but the best argument is it seems to be better for sleep.
