If we are, we made a terrible mistake! ;)

At first I thought they were referring to time zones. Time zones were an invention by a Canadian. But turns out the first two cities in the world to have DST were in Canada. However, DST was proposed before then by multiple different people, so I am not sure one can say it was a Canadian invention. After the two Canadian cities, it wasn't until Germany in WWI that any nation had DST nationally. Other nations soon followed.
