Crossed into Canada with a load heading to Mississauga. Only an hour and a half away, and I have 2 hours left on my US clock.
Swapped to Canadian HOS on my Qualcomm, and was immediately told I was out of hours.
I'm guessing it's that -12:57 that's doing it, but I have no idea what that field is. A quick google search has not been informative.
What's the scoop here, folks? How long do I have to sit to reset that clock?
Little HOS help from my northern brethren?

Have you had 24 consecutive hours off within the last 14 days?

You are correct re: 24 hours off within the last 14 days. The 24 off after 70 hours on-duty only applies to Cycle 2.
So, to recap ():
Cycle 1: 70/7
- 24 hours off in preceding 14 days
- 24 hours off in preceding 14 days OR after 70 hours on-duty, whichever occurs first.

BUT
I don't believe this to be a true recap, because in Canada we have to have at least 24hrs off after 14 days regardless of remaining hours on your 70. Whereas in the US HOS they don't ever have to take a 24hr reset if they run the recap correctly. They can just keep running and only take a 10hrs off everyday for weeks on end.
For me all this stuff doesn't matter anymore. I am glad I don't need to worry about HOS as much as I did when OTR. I am home everyday, my company caps us off at 60hrs/week (labour/union rules, so we would never reach the 70hrs/7days) and we always get 2 days off unless we work a 6th day overtime in which case we still get more then our required hour 36hr cycle reset (we are on the 7day cycle). My HOS these days are a lot more simple to follow haha... -

Our resets are 36 hours vs your 34 hours. Could that be it?
