When should Canada/Central return to Standard Time?

I consulted Shanks and found that I transcribed his data for Winnipeg
incorrectly, not only for this year, but also for 1937, 1948, 1950,
1963, and all years from 1966 on. Sorry about that -- I must have
forgotten to proofread Winnipeg originally. (At least I didn't
misspell its name as ``Winnepeg''....)
Given Shanks's data, I'd guess that the Sun customer's ``one week too
early'' was just a approximation, and the true error is one month too
early. This is consistent with the rest of Canada. Here is a
proposed patch.
