I don't see anything particularly strange about it. Non-integer offsets
do happen, and in the past there were more commonly used.
Based on what I can see in timezone data, it looks that time zone
America/Toronto
used this offset until 1895.
Ah, I see. That makes sense. Thanks for the info! It's appreciated!
Michael.
