    In BC, Canada, it became permanent this year. Originally, the entire west coast of North America was supposed to switch at the same time. All the US states backed out.

      I don’t think the US states backed out, they’re just stuck waiting for the legal right to switch. BC got tired of waiting for them and decided to switch on its own, as being deeply coupled with those states is now less desirable.
