Mississauga, Brampton and Canada moving clocks forward for daylight time on Sunday

Most Canadians will move their clocks forward by an hour before going to bed Saturday night for daylight time.
Premier Doug Ford, as well as the premiers of B.C. and Quebec, have said they’re receptive to ditching the time change. Meanwhile, Yukon and most of Saskatchewan observe permanent daylight time.
Ford said on Friday he’d like to see the province stick with daylight time and he looks forward to long summer days.
B.C. Premier John Horgan’s passed legislation three years ago to allow the province to permanently stay on daylight time.
But Horgan said Friday that B.C. won’t scrap the twice-a-year time change change without the three U.S. states in the same time zone — Washington, Oregon and California — also doing so.
Horgan says he’s hopeful a bill by Washington state’s governor will get congressional approval this year, meaning it could be the last time B.C. residents “spring forward.”
