Tim Parenti:
Eby's position is that the surveys showed British Columbians prefer "to have that extra hour of sunlight at the end of the day, to have a little bit more time with the sun out with their families at the end of a working day,"
I won't say what I think of that opinion, because there might be kids reading this.
Anyway,
So the opposite attitude can certainly be applied to the winter: "I don't care if sunrise is at 8:30 or 9:30, because either way I'm waking up in the dark."
in winter, when we here in Oslo have sunrise after 9:00 (standard time), I have taken the habit of not biking to work until after sunrise (working from home for an hour beforehand).
Having permanent DST wouldn't help either, it doesn't matter much if sunset is 15:15 or 16:15, it's still dark when I get home from work anyway. It's the morning daylight that is important to get rid of that deep winter depression, at least for me.
