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.
