Hong Kong centers on container-port trade; Toronto depends on mining-sector finance — two industries, one clock gap.
Toronto shifts its own clock for DST — Hong Kong doesn't — leaving a swing between 12 hours and 13 hours, on that one clock alone.
A 13 hours gap costs someone an odd hour, whichever slot Hong Kong and Toronto settle on.
