While Canadians would balk at that level of national control it helps provide a

In theory, current information and communication technology might make it
easier to deal with community-level control of timekeeping.
In practice, however, I suspect the tzdb maintainers might throw up their hands
if confronted with too much of that.
As is evident, control does not imply care, coordination, understanding of, or
taking responsibility for, any of the disruption and negative impacts!
