Nope, CA is 7 hours behind UTC - hence the -420.
And Google backs me up on this:

Of course, with the current implementation of DateAndTime, where the
date/time is stored in local time, the offset is...weird.  You have to
subtract the offset to get to UTC.
If/when we adopt the UTCDateAndTime package, then the internal
represenatation and offset mirrors the rest of the industry, where you add
the offset to the internal UTC time to get to the local time.
