Description
### Describe the bug
When reading a BLF file with python-can, the parsed timestamps are always 8 hours later than what is shown in Vector CANoe.
### To Reproduce
1.Create or record a BLF file with CANoe.
2.Open the BLF file in CANoe → check message timestamps (example: 13:00).
3.Open the same BLF file with python-can using the following script:
`import can
import datetime
blf_file = "test.blf"
with can.BLFReader(blf_file) as log:
for msg in log:
t_raw = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(msg.timestamp)
print(f"Time: {t_raw}, Relative seconds: {msg.timestamp}")`
4.Observe that the timestamps printed by python-can are +8 hours compared to CANoe (example: 21:00).
### Expected behavior
Timestamps should match those shown in CANoe (e.g., 13:00).
