East-Saskatchewan is in
ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/backward
"Canada/East-Saskatchewan"

which is not a valid name for a zone according to the current Theory file.
------
A file name component must not exceed 14
characters or start with `-'.  E.g., prefer `Brunei'
to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'.
------

ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/zone.tab
does not list any name of a zone with a name component having more
than 14 characters.
