# Matthews and Vincent (1998) also write that Quebec east of the -63

+# authorizing and resulting from these regulatory changes.
+#
+# Only recent regulations were retrievable via Yukon government site search or
+# index, and only some via Canadian legal sources. Other sources used include
+# articles titled "Standard Time and Time Zones in Canada" from JRASC via ADS
+# Abstracts, cited by ADO for 1932 ..., and updated versions from 1958 and

+# and territorial ST and DST regulations at the end, summaries and details of
+# standard times and daylight saving time at many locations across Canada,
+# with time zone maps, tables and calculations for Canadian Sunrise, Sunset,
+# and LMST; they also cover many countries and global locations, with a chart
+# and table showing current Universal Time offsets, and may be useful as

+#
+# Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
+# the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):
+# [1] Chile Law
+# http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/chile.html
+# This contains a copy of a this official table:
+# Cambios en la hora oficial de Chile desde 1900 (retrieved 2008-03-30)
+# http://web.archive.org/web/20080330200901/http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm
+# [1] needs several corrections, though.
+#
+# The first set of corrections is from:
+# [2] History of the Official Time of Chile
+# http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html (retrieved 2012-03-06). See:
+# http://web.archive.org/web/20120306042032/http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html

+# http://web.archive.org/web/20121024234627/http://www.horaoficial.cl/horaof.htm
+# A fancier Spanish version (requiring mouse-clicking) is at:
+# http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.html
+# Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
+#
+# - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
+# Boletín Nº 1, Aviso Nº 1 (1910). Go with [2].
+#
+# - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
+# 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
+# Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
+# Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [2], rounding it to -4:42:46.
+#
+# - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
+# Boletín Nº 22, Aviso Nº 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2].
+#
+# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
+# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However,
+# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
+#
+# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
+# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
+# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
+# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at
+# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16
+# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too."
+#
+# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &
+# Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume
+# Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago;
+# this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and
+# may well be true for earlier transitions.
+
# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
# The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
# of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
# Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,
# on April 3, (one-time change).

-# The following data entries for Chile and America/Santiago are from

-# Jesper Nørgaard Welen. The data entries for Pacific/Easter are from Shanks
-# & Pottenger, except with DST transitions after 1932 cloned from
-# America/Santiago. The pre-1980 Pacific/Easter data entries are dubious,
-# but we have no other source.
