Trivia Answer

Canada has a total of six time zones. These include the Pacific (most of BC) and Mountain (Alberta, South Eastern BC, NWT, Nunavut and Saskatchewan) time zones in the West. The central Canada timezone is for Manitoba, some of Saskatchewan, Nunavut and northwestern Ontario. The eastern time zone includes Ontario and Quebec, and some of Nunavut. Atlantic time includes Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and parts of eastern Quebec. Newfoundland is unique because its time zone is 30 mins earlier than Atlantic Canada, so if it's 4 pm in Nova Scotia, it's 4:30 pm in Newfoundland.
