Thanks for installing that. After testing it again, I found a glitch in
commentary, in the change I had proposed earlier for zonenow.tab. I
installed the attached to clarify it.
This still will all soon change further, assuming NWT makes its change
official. Not sure what, if anything, will be done by Kitikmeot, East
Kootenay, etc., but let's hope they decide and announce soon as well.From 9442b8a1f39cf7cc79d00fb4f4798aa0291c5e63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PROPOSED] Update zonenow.tab Denver commentary
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

* zonenow.tab (America/Denver): Say “northern Canada” instead of
“Canada”, as for future timestamps America/Denver likely no
longer subsumes any part of Canada near the US border.
Most likely that “northern Canada” will soon shrink to “Kitikmeot”,
and it might even vanish, but this documents what we have now.
