    logger.debug "created from API:" + q["created"] + "<-- this is PST not UTC despite the 'Z'"
    # All times returned by the API are in PST not PDT and not UTC
    # All URL parameters for time are also in PST not UTC
    # See https://github.com/mozilla/kitsune/issues/3961 and
    # https://github.com/mozilla/kitsune/issues/3946
    # The above may change in the future if we migrate the Kitsune database to UTC
    created = Time.parse(q["created"].gsub("Z", "PST")) 
  • and the associated issues, 3961 and 3946
