What Chuck said!
For that reason I have the camera set to GMT, and don't change it, whatever
time zone I may be in, nor for daylight saving (summer) time. That way I
have an explicit capture time recorded, rather than one which is dependent
on other factors.

I don't have CS4 but I've been thinking about this and how it might occur.
For Bridge to be doing what you think it is doing it would have to know the
time zone differential or that the camera's time was set to GMT with some
indicator of that. But none of that can be true since time zone or some
sort of GMT/UT indicator is not part of the camera's data.
The most logical explanation is that you forgot to reset the camera's clock
when you were in the UK after having left Canada. The camera thus recorded
the Canadian time on the image when you were in the UK and CS4 is simply
playing back exactly what's on the image file. I think if you display the
time stamp in the camera or some other image browser you'll see the same
thing.
I think my preferred browser (BreezeBrowser) can step through images and
modify time stamps but I've never tried that. Certainly there must be
plenty of utilities that can do that.
