Which cities are on a different clock?
Canada does not kick off once. Toronto, Halifax, St. John's, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Vancouver are listed separately because the time-zone database gives them different offsets on this date, or because readers look for those cities by name. The first line, Toronto at 7:00pm, is the one in the title. The table is the rest of the country. Using the title time in a city that the table shows later or earlier is how a correct national page still makes someone miss the whistle.
