Question
Canada has 6 different standard times.

Answer

  1. The longitudinal extent of Canada is between 52°37′ W and 141° W.
  2. Thus, the difference between the extreme east and west longitude passing through Canada is of 88 degrees.
  3. The difference between the local time at extreme east and west longitude passing through Canada is of 352 minutes i.e. 5 hours and 52 minutes.

Therefore, it is not practically helpful to consider single standard time in Canada. Therefore, for synchronizing the routine activities in the country, Canada has 6 different standard times.
