According to 
http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/services/inms/time-services/network-time.html

    Note: Starting March 1, 2011, the old *TIME *protocol on port
    37(RFC-868) will no longer be offered from the NTP servers below.
    However a new time service for the old *TIME *protocol is now
    offered from a new server, *time4.nrc.ca*. Users are encouraged to
    switch to the NTP protocol described below, for a more accurate time
    service.



I usually use the pooled default servers in whatever distro I'm using on 
a given machine, or if I need some specific servers I use 
[tick,tock].utoronto.ca  and/or [tic,toc].nrc.ca as these can (from most 
Toronto ISP locations) have a lower round trip delay than the random 
pooled ones.

Cheers.
