What’s the Latest: Businesses adjust to darker mornings and schedules in new Manitoba Standard Time
Manitobans are adapting to a new time zone that eliminates seasonal time changes, impacting IT teams and construction worker scheduling due to darker mornings.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced on September 17 that the province will not observe the time change this year. According to the province, 92 per cent of Manitobans supported ending seasonal time changes.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew confirmed on September 17 that the province would not revert to daylight saving time, reflecting the wishes of 92 per cent of residents who favoured ending seasonal time changes. Loren Remillard, president and CEO of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, noted, “You woke up and that map of North America was a lot uglier than it was back in October, but business adjusts,” indicating an expectation of adaptation to the new time structure.
What remains unclear — The specific timing and details of how businesses will fully adjust to the new Manitoba Standard Time remain undisclosed.
Businesses adapt to new Manitoba Standard Time amid darker mornings
Manitobans are adjusting to darker mornings following the province’s transition to Manitoba Standard Time. This change has particularly affected IT teams and construction schedules. Loren Remillard, president and CEO of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, acknowledged the challenges, stating, “You woke up and that map of North America was a lot uglier than it was back in October, but business adjusts, we will find ways to adapt. But ultimately this is what Manitobans decided.”
Premier Wab Kinew confirmed during an interview with 680 CJOB on 17 September that the province will not revert to seasonal time changes. This decision aligns Manitoba with Alberta, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, and parts of Northwestern Ontario, which have also opted out of changing their clocks.
The move to abolish daylight saving time resonated with the public, as 92 per cent of Manitobans supported ending seasonal changes, according to provincial statistics. Local businesses are now working to recalibrate their operational schedules in response to the altered timekeeping system.
Remillard underscored the importance of adaptability in the face of new challenges, emphasising that businesses will continue to find solutions that cater to the new circumstances. As the province settles into this permanent time zone, it remains to be seen how these adjustments will unfold.

Get you up to speed: 2026 election live updates as Trump tells GOP “we gave this a very strong shot,” midterm candidates make final pitches
Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers during an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, marking a significant shift following her previous stance against him. Stevens confirmed a prior conversation with Rep. Debbie Dingell, stating, “That’s just where I landed with this,” without detailing what prompted her change of heart.
Investigations into the events leading to Haley Stevens’ endorsement of Mike Rogers are ongoing, with no clear timeline for their conclusion. Stevens emphasised the importance of Democrats retaining the Senate seat in Michigan as pivotal for party control after the upcoming election.
Haley Stevens expressed her support for Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers, stating she “woke up…focused on what was in my heart,” despite previous endorsements of a Democratic nominee. Rep. Debbie Dingell described Stevens’ endorsement as “one of the most painful interviews I have ever watched,” expressing concern that the situation has become a distraction for the Democratic Party.
What remains unclear — Stevens did not clarify what specific factors influenced her decision to endorse Mike Rogers after initially refusing to do so.
Trump tells GOP “we gave this a very strong shot” as midterm candidates make final pitches
Haley Stevens gave her first interview since she endorsed Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers on Sunday, telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper she felt like there was a “weight off my shoulders.”
During their 15-minute interview, Cooper repeatedly asked Stevens why she changed her mind after she reportedly told her colleague Rep. Debbie Dingell in a phone conversation Saturday night that she was not going to endorse Rogers.
Stevens confirmed the conversation took place but never gave Cooper a direct answer about what changed her mind. She told him, “That’s just where I landed with this. I woke up this morning clear-eyed, fresh and, you know, focused on what was in my heart, and that’s that.”
Asked again what changed her mind, Stevens replied, “I was there and just, you know, alone with my thoughts. I was writing things out, and look, this level of anger and the things that we are seeing — look, we all want Democrats to win. I’m a really proud Democrat. And by the way, Abdul’s got every other Democrat with him. He just doesn’t have me and a few other people who love this party.”
“Nothing with me changed, Anderson,” said Stevens, who had previously endorsed El-Sayed.
She cited El-Sayed’s alliance with left-wing streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker and a controversial ad from Rebellion PAC that tied the war in Gaza to increased costs at home. It shows a couple in a grocery store shopping for food for their children, and the woman instructs her husband to put the eggs back, saying, “We have to set that $7 aside for killing Palestinians.” El-Sayed said his campaign had nothing to do with the ad.
“That ad was very painful,” Stevens said. “There are so many Democrats who want to vote for our Democratic nominee, and they’re just being told, ‘Hey, this is a party you don’t belong in, or this is a campaign you don’t belong in.'”
Stevens told Cooper she “absolutely” wants Democrats to take control of the Senate after Election Day and that it’s essential for Democrats to retain the seat in Michigan to take control of the Senate.
Cooper pointed out that in August, Stevens had posted on social media that Rogers would be “another rubber stamp for Donald Trump‘s dangerous agenda. We can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November.” He asked Stevens, “Why is it OK now … why can you afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November?”
Stevens replied, “Well, why is it OK to have the Democratic Party and a top nominee injecting … this type of anger and lack of kindness?”
Cooper asked if she was referring to being disinvited from a planned joint appearance with El-Sayed Sunday.
“Anderson, I was just trying to help this campaign and stand up for people who feel hurt,” Stevens replied.
Cooper interviewed Dingell immediately following Stevens, and Dingell described Stevens’ appearance as “one of the most painful interviews I have ever watched.”
“I’m very concerned that this has all become a distraction,” Dingell said.
