Does this apply to Canada? Are there really redundant entries for Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern for Canada? I thought only those locations with alternative TZ histories are listed under a different town/city name. Maybe that is why all of Canada would get its onw list, what with War Time and differing parliamentary history etc.
Absolutely -- there are in fact 22 of them (according to zone.tab). Even just `Central' refers to eight distinct time zones: CA +4953-09709 America/Winnipeg Central Time - Manitoba & west Ontario CA +4843-09429 America/Rainy_River Central Time - Rainy River & Fort Frances, Ontario CA +6608-06544 America/Pangnirtung Central Time - Pangnirtung, Nunavut CA +6344-06828 America/Iqaluit Central Time - east Nunavut CA +6245-09210 America/Rankin_Inlet Central Time - central Nunavut CA +6903-10505 America/Cambridge_Bay Central Time - west Nunavut CA +5024-10439 America/Regina Central Standard Time - Saskatchewan - most locations CA +5017-10750 America/Swift_Current Central Standard Time - Saskatchewan - midwest -GAWollman
