why do time changes occur on different days, weeks apart, around the world?

In Canada we had the time change I think about two weeks ago. My wife is in Mexico and they had the time change today. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have the time change around the world at the same time?

It’s determined by the governments. The current daylight saving time dates in the US were changed to what they are by George W Bush a number of years back to have more DST days.

Not every country changes their time (and the state of Arizona doesn’t either. Half the year they’re the same as Mountain time and the other half Pacific time).
