>Don't you guys get like Queen Victoria Day and Empire/COmmonwealth Day or some such? WE don't "remember" our monarch. And Thanksgiving you must have stolen off the Americans?

Yup, we get Victoria day still. Not sure what it's now called in this provecnce. But we get it off. We have our 'Liberation' from UK day as well. ;) 3 days before the US does theirs. It only took us 91 more years.

As for Thanksgiving, it's on a different day. It's 1 month earlier. Guess we're thankfull it's not as cold that day.
