Description
the original events are in the right time zone, and display correctly on google calendar. attempting to copy them shifts the time zone.
- subscribe to the calendar feed in google calendar
- select any event, and right click ( or hamburger ) to "Copy to..." your personal calendar
- note that the time has shifted 7 hours, and under the event times it will say UTC.
- adjusting the timezone manually to Pacific corrects the time
this seems to be a google bug; my theory is google is taking ( or more likely, missing ) some indicator from the calendar feed as a whole. there might be a "this feed is in the Pacific timezone" entry we can set to fix things.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by inspecting the generated calendar feed and its timezone information, then reproduce the subscription and copy workflow in Google Calendar. Done means copied events retain the original Pacific timezone instead of shifting to UTC.
