Bug Description

I have imported two .ics feeds from two different services, and the times for both feeds are out by two hours.

Two hours is exactly the time difference between my timezone and UTC, so my guess is that the feeds are delivering the times in my timezone time, and calendar is interpreting them as UTC and adding the two hours time difference.

I've got the same problem with gnome-calendar 3.26.2 on Ubuntu Gnome 17.10 (and also 17.04).
I've compiled a workaround for the problem until the bug is fixed.
My code allows you to shift all your dates according to your timezone such that they are at least displayed correctly. I highly recommend saving the original file.
