Multiple Canadian Press, Global News, CBC, and Globe and Mail reports dated October 28, 2026 confirm Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said his government intends to abolish the twice-yearly time change, so the claim that Quebec is considering abandoning daylight saving time is supported as of 2026-10-28.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said on October 28, 2026 that his government intends to abolish the switch between daylight and standard time, with a decision on which time to keep still pending consultations.[1][2][3][4]

Supports. CBC reports that Quebec is moving to end the twice-yearly clock change, and CityNews reports the PQ government plans to table legislation to end the practice.[5][6]

Context. British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba have already announced ending the time change this year, which fits the post's framing of Quebec as the latest province to consider it.[2][7]

Context. The U.S. Sunshine Protection Act stalled in the Senate, so most of the country still falls back Nov. 1; this does not bear on Quebec's position.[8]
