As I recollect, unix boxes always store the time as Greenwich Time which
is 4 hours off from Toronto time. 
If I am correct, what happened is that you originally set greenwich
time to Toronto time, so that when you changed your timezone
you were off.
Now that you have set your time zone,
can't you just use date to set the time to the Toronto time?
