Only Mexico's border areas are on DST. They will really have a cow if it's 24/7. Likewise, Canada will likely swtich to all DST just so everything is synchronized with the US.

Most fo the world is getting away from it! We're regressing! Light gray is where they used to have it. Dark grey is where it never was.

Orange is DST in the southern hemisphere.
