Madness.

some Canadians never have to go more than 60 days between holidays,
According to these lists of national and provincial that's not true. The shortest winter gap is between Jan. 1 and March 17th in Newfoundland.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, Newfies never work, do they? But Albertans have a February holiday -- they're just shafted for the rest of the year.

Great. Now the Mounties are going to have to hunt you down.

If I only had a brain...
I get precisely 8, with the long New Year's-Memorial day drought.
When I lived in the South, everybody gave Good Friday.
I don't think I've ever worked in a job that gave MLK Day or President's Day.
