497 # CANADA YUKON SAME AS PACIFIC DAWSON
499 # From Arthur David Olson (January 21, 1989):
500 # April 3 fell on a Sunday in 1988; October 29 fell on a Sunday in 1989. Ahem.
501 # Note claim that there's double DST in Newfoundland and that Yukon should
502 # be same as Pacific.
504 # From W. Jones (jones@skdad.usask.ca) (November 6, 1992):
505 # The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
506 # provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
507 # A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
508 # since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
510 # Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
511 # the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
512 # their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
513 # referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
515 # On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
516 # Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
517 # part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
518 # northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
519 # follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
520 # zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
521 # by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
523 # It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
524 # on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
525 # serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
526 # a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
527 # rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
528 # since sometime in the 1960s.
530 # Here's how I would summarize things. Establish a "Saskatchewan" CST
531 # time zone, and note that it officially exists as of 15 April 1966. Any
532 # current exceptions can put themselves in the "Mountain" zone, since
533 # those are the rules they follow. Any past exceptions can be forgotten,
534 # since that's what those who live here have done.
536 # From Arthur David Olson (November 21, 1992):
537 # East-Saskatchewan kept to avoid problems for folks using that zone by name;
538 # plain Saskatchewan added.
540 # From Alain LaBont<e'> <ALB@immedia.ca> (1994-11-14):
541 # I post here the time zone abbreviations standardized in Canada
542 # for both English and French in the CAN/CSA-Z234.4-89 standard....

805 # Rules are from the Official Airline Guide, Worldwide Edition, for 1987.
806 # Rules prior to 1987 are unknown.
807 # The comments in the OAG say "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and Tijuana
808 # observe DST." This is presumably Baja California Norte, above 28th parallel,
809 # as listed there; [there is also] "Baja California Sur and N. Pacific
810 # Coast (States of Sinaloa and Sonora)."
812 # From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
813 # The Federal District (where Mexico City is) has observed [DST] several
814 # times but not recently.
816 # I don't where to drawn the line in the North Baja area. 28th latitude
817 # sounds good -- but it may be higher (how far [d]o radio stations from
818 # San Diego affect culture?).
820 # The dates of DST probably go back to 1981. The rules are the same as
821 # US's. This is going to be a headache for US presidential electi[o]n years!
823 # From Arthur David Olson (February 13, 1988)
824 # Since the 1981 starting date is only "probable," we'll keep the 1987
825 # starting date below.
827 # From U. S. Naval Observatory (January 19, 1989):
828 # MEXICO BAJA CAL N 7 H BEHIND UTC BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR AND
829 # MEXICO BAJA CAL N N. PACIFIC COAST (STATES
830 # MEXICO BAJA CAL N OF SINALOA AND SONORA)
831 # MEXICO BAJA CAL N 8 H BEHIND UTC ABOVE 28TH PARALLAL APR 3

840 # MEXICO TAMAULIPAS APR 3 - OCT 29
841 # MEXICO 6 H BEHIND UTC GENERAL MEXICO, STATES OF
842 # MEXICO CAMPECHE, QUINTANA ROO AND
845 # From Arthur David Olson (January 21, 1989):
846 # April 3 fell on a Sunday in 1988; October 29 fell on a Sunday in 1989. Ahem.
847 # USNO claims there should be four Mexican zones rather than three:
848 # a zone that's GMT-8 with DST; a zone that's always GMT-7;
849 # a zone that's GMT-6 with DST; and a zone that's always GMT-6.
851 # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
852 # Shanks also says there are four zones, but disagrees about the fourth.
853 # Instead of GMT-6 with DST, he says there's GMT-8 without DST.
