Thanksgiving isn't a statutory holiday in Nova Scotia. We only get New Year's Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Labour Day, and Christmas Day. If I work Remembrance Day I get a day in lieu.

Bank holiday Monday meant that I was one of very few people in the department at university today. I didn't see another person in the building, but I heard people. Spooky.
Wow. Out here, in addition to Thanksgiving, I also get BC Day in August, Victoria Day in May and they added a new "Family Day" in February, just this year.
I had no idea it was that different across the country.
I think I'm living on the right edge.
Yeah, most places have 10. The PCs cut our days because they wanted to attract business.

I have to ask, what is Family Day?Wow. Out here, in addition to Thanksgiving, I also get BC Day in August, Victoria Day in May and they added a new "Family Day" in February, just this year.

No one is really sure. An extra statutory day off between Christmas and Easter that helped get our premier re-elected?
A lot of places in Canada have added another stat day to give another day off. I think there should be one each month.

After today, I'll have off until next Tuesday after Labor Day. Gotta love vacation days.

That is how we got Columbus Day (Italian voters) and Labor Day (Unions) off .. whatever .. outside of Independence Day, Christmas, and Thanksgiving, they should just put out 20 holidays a year for various people and events and let people pick 8 or 10 of which ones they want to honor.

I work from home most days, so I don't even have to worry about days off.

We're in the middle of a lovely heatwave. I still like it a lot more than the horrible winter!
I'd rather winter. But I'm Canadian. We flourish in climates that befuddle our American friends.

I would be ok with year-round winter. Or at least year-round fall.

I'd be ok with winter....as long as it didn't snow. Well wait, I don't have a problem with snow...just driving in it.

I think everyone has that problem. The only solution is: HIBERNATION!

Believe it or not, there are some people who enjoy driving in the snow. Those are the people who have vehicles that are meant for it. Jerks...

I love driving in the snow, and I don't have a vehicle for it.
