BUG: Misbehaving stream schedules have allowed me to divine someone's location somewhat.
A bug in Twitch Schedules allowed me to (I think) divine which province of Canada a streamer lives.
How this happened: I pointed out to the streamer that their posted schedule was incorrect by one hour. They told me it was not on their end, so I continued to investigate. My best guess as to what is happening here is that they live in a country (Canada) that observes DST, but their province does not. There is only one province in Canada that describes, and that's Saskatchewan.
For purposes of anonymity I will not be providing the username of this streamer in this report. The TL;DR of this bug report is that when you post a stream schedule from a place that does not observe DST in a country that otherwise does, the schedules are not translated correctly outside of that location.
Thanks for reporting this - I have shared this with the team, so they can look into it.

I wanted to follow up on this, as it seems kind of important if I ended up being correct, though the end of daylight savings next week does limit the impact of this issue over the next six months.
