Thank you both for your corrections.  Some of these are my
transcription errors from Shanks, but some are errata in Shanks.

I'm inclined to take the GEOnet coordinates, since it's a source;
except for Canadian locations, where The Atlas of Canada
<http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/> is probably more
authoritative.  So in zone.tab we'd have:

AR	-2649-06513	America/Argentina/Tucuman	Tucuman (TM)
CA	+624900-0920459	America/Rankin_Inlet	Central Time - central Nunavut
CA	+4843-09434	America/Rainy_River	Central Time - Rainy River & Fort Frances, Ontario
CA	+682059-1334300	America/Inuvik	Mountain Time - west Northwest Territor\
ies
GL	+7029-02158	America/Scoresbysund	Scoresbysund / Ittoqqortoormiit

with the following UTC offsets during LMT:

-01:27:52 America/Scoresbysund
-04:20:52 America/Argentina/Tucuman [this is the same as before]
-06:08:20 America/Rankin_Inlet
-06:18:16 America/Rainy_River
-08:54:52 America/Inuvik
