November 2nd, 2025 time change

Spring ahead. Fall back. Well it’s fall. It really is fall back.

Clocks Back

On Sunday, November 2, 2025, most of British Columbia will end Daylight Saving Time by setting clocks back one hour at 2:00 a.m., giving residents an extra hour of sleep that night. This shift means the province will move back to Pacific Standard Time (PST), resulting in much earlier sunrises and earlier sunsets for the winter months. Despite B.C. passing legislation to move to permanent Daylight Time in 2019, the government has maintained the position that it will wait until the U.S. West Coast states (Washington, Oregon, and California) make the permanent move first to maintain economic alignment.

Editors note

Of course set it for 2:00 a.m. you don’t have to be up at 2:00 a.m. to do it when you go to bed at 9:00 p.m. The night before and you set it back. You will be okay

Time change November 2nd 2025

☀️ Daylight Saving Time (DST) Overview * DST is the practice of advancing clocks, usually by one hour, during the summer months. * The goal is to extend daylight into the evening, making better use of natural light. * A common mnemonic is “spring forward, fall back” to remember which way to change the clocks.

When to act

Hint:set your clocks back this evening when retiring.

Editors:note

The legislation waiting to go to permanent standard time when our large trading partner to the south does maybe coming moot soon or at least doesn’t have the attraction it did.

Set ahead for a 2:00 a.m. Time change.

Spring forward happens on March 9, 2025. This means that, at 2:00 a.m. local time, clocks are set forward to 3:00 a.m. local daylight time.

One hour of sleep loss to make allowance for.

TGIF -Fall back

Time change is coming, on November the 3rd 2024,1am local time.

Pacific time will fall back to standard time from Daylight time  for most of us in most parts of BC. Some areas do not change and are already on standard time such as all of Saskatchewan and the Yukon, parts of BC and pockets on the eastern coast, check your local area.

Take time to adjust

Always continue your diligence for safety when things like driving a routine route suddenly are seen in a different light than the previous day.

Fall back

What are you going to do?

Carbon Tax

In Canada we have the advantage of a tax tied to a tangible commodity. The carbon tax no matter how pie in the sky it is, it’s still based on a tanagable.

Fraud not withstanding risk is better underwritten by this vehicle. So, the bubble of hard assets (oil reserves) that we are beginning to enjoy is timely for we all. Don’t waste this moment… Use it to transform ideas to near tangibles that will endure to our children’s children. 

Update

Peak oil reached by 2030.

March 2022 the US Senate passed a law to protect sunshine and make daylight saving time year-round. The law needs to be passed in the House of Representatives and then signed by the US president enacted and proclaimed. Canada is prepared to follow if and when this happens. DST remains interrupted by a return to standard Time at this time and most areas of Canada in the United States.
