I don’t know when this holiday was introduced, but it must’ve been an election year. Governments have their problems, but I’m OK with them mandating a holiday for everyone - we just need one in March (and the break that kids get doesn’t fucking count since I don’t have kids, and if you do have kids it’s not a fucking break) and another in April (since Easter likes to fuck around and move dates for some reason that I’ve forgotten since I’m a terrible Catholic) and another in June and November (Remembrance Day is a holiday for government employees but not for private sector employees). Whichever party can increase my holiday time gets my vote since I know you’re gonna fuck up everything else anyway but at least I’ll have a holiday to look forward to every month.
Nothing like Sunday day-drinking to get things rolling. I definitely didn’t want to take another picture of my current situation but this past photo is pretty much representative of my situation right now:
Once again, I don’t care if Kinja multiplies my photos.

It’s a holiday for us in Saskatchewan tomorrow as well (happy Family Day! Unless you’re in Manitoba, which in that case, happy Louis Riel Day!). Easter can be a holiday in March or April, as it’s six weeks after Ash Wednesday (whenever that is, I haven’t a clue), so you’re right, it’s a bit of a crapshoot. January barely counts as New Years Day is right at the beginning. And Remembrance Day is a stat holiday in certain provinces, but you’re right that it kind of sucks that it’s not a day off in Ontario. Granted, I’m not sure how many people would actually use it as a day of remembrance if it was a day off.

I’m on a pro rata basis of 30 hours a week and get 156 years holiday a year plus statutory bank holidays.
After this shift I’m off for five nights, in for one and then off for 13. Happy days.

Passover occurs on something to do with a full moon. Easter is on the first Sunday afterwards. The only way this relates to Catholicism or any type of Christianity is that it is briefly mentioned on the Bible.
Have fun drinking on your random holiday

I wonder if it was some sort of an effort to better balance Canadian and American holiday schedules, considering the amount of businesses that operate on both sides of the border? I mean, you can’t do a Presidents’ Day for obvious reasons, so why not celebrate family?

How many holidays/bank holidays do you get?
We have eight in the U.K. plus St. George’s for England, St. David’s for Wales, St. Patrick’s for Ireland and St. Andrew’s for Scotland.

Hell I’m all for a Prime Ministers’ Day if it means another long weekend.

Fair enough. I went to a Catholic school when I was growing up and Easter’s all about Jesus and shit.
