"Time Zone
Saint-Pierre & Miquelon is part of the WTG [sic - s/b WGT] Time Zone (UTC-3).
Saint-Pierre & Miquelon is 4 hours behind Paris and 2 hours ahead of New York."

# Zone	NAME		GMTOFF	RULES	FORMAT	[UNTIL]
Zone America/Danmarkshavn -1:14:40 -	LMT	1916 Jul 28

Suggest:
-			-3:00	-	-03	1987 # Pierre & Miquelon Time
-			-3:00	Canada	-03/-02
+			-3:00	-	WGT	1987 # Western Greenland Time
+			-3:00	Canada	WG%sT

and perhaps Miquelon should be moved from northamerica after Puerto_Rico to 
europe after Paris, similar to Godthab, or does using the Canada rule require 
it to stay in northamerica?
