I don't think it only contains historic records. I downloaded the tz file from 
their web (https://data.iana.org/time-zones/releases/tzdata2026b.tar.gz), and 
it contains the following in `northamerica` file:

Zone America/Vancouver  -8:12:28 -  LMT 1884
            -8:00   Vanc    P%sT    1987
            -8:00   Canada  P%sT    2026 Mar  9
            # Temporary hack; see above.
            -8:00   1:00    PDT 2026 Nov  1 02:00
            # End of temporary hack.
            -7:00   -   MST

This corresponds to the added comment above:

#   1.  As a temporary hack, pretend that the BC law takes effect
#   not on 2026-03-09 at 00:00, but on 2026-11-01 at 02:00.

The `America/Vancouver` zone should be updated.
