Even just `Central' refers to eight distinct time zones:
CA +4953-09709 America/Winnipeg Central Time - Manitoba & west Ontario
CA +4843-09429 America/Rainy_River Central Time - Rainy River & Fort Frances, Ontario
CA +6608-06544 America/Pangnirtung Central Time - Pangnirtung, Nunavut
CA +6344-06828 America/Iqaluit Central Time - east Nunavut
CA +6245-09210 America/Rankin_Inlet Central Time - central Nunavut
CA +6903-10505 America/Cambridge_Bay Central Time - west Nunavut
CA +5024-10439 America/Regina Central Standard Time - Saskatchewan - most locations
CA +5017-10750 America/Swift_Current Central Standard Time - Saskatchewan - midwest
