Actually they are *not* the same timezone, because historically the local clocks in Toronto and New York did not always agree on the time, due to different daylight saving rules in 1974-1975.

The only case I could find where the different timezone rules were indeed identical (and not just managed to have the same effect during recent years) were a bug in tzdata prior to version 2013h, where Montreal and Toronto were listed separately despite not differing in any way...
