Nunavut was a lot of fun for us around the turn of the century, when
they standardized on CST+CDT in fall 1999, then when that didn't work in
eastern Baffin (people rebelled) they standardized on EST in fall 2000,
and then when that didn't work in western Nunavut (other people
rebelled) they went back to three time zones in spring 2001.
We couldn't reliably record all the unofficial times kept during that
confusing period. I hope things go more smoothly this time.
One comment during the confusion was from Violet Charlie in Taloyoak:
“It was depressing. We’d go to work and the dogs were still sleeping.”
