>You can count me in on Terry Thurber list as well. Here, and I'm not sure if this is provinal or federal. But after several years of service it goes up.
Shoulda stayed British then! You mean Canadians get the same paltry amount of vacs as the US? (and then you go and waste them by holing up in a cottage on some lake! :-) How would one have a summer holiday then, say, a week skiing (but I guess you guys don't have to go too far for that and can have several weekends at it)?
