"Horario de verano", it appears, for Mexico:

	http://www.diputados.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/capitulo1.htm

so Mexico appear to be part of "the rest of the world" - "summer time", not "daylight saving time" or "advanced time" or....

"Horário de verão", it appears, for Brazil:

	http://www.brasil.gov.br/noticias/infraestrutura/2018/10/horario-de-verao-comeca-dia-4-de-novembro-em-10-estados-e-no-df

so Brazil also goes with "summer time".

I haven't checked the rest of South America, or checked Central America, but I suspect the US and Canada are the odd ones in the Western Hemisphere.
