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.
ETA: Whoops! It's in Alberta. Damn Albertans!
Maybe there is a secret Canadian holliday.
Okay, Newfies never work, do they? But Albertans have a February holiday -- they're just shafted for the rest of the year.

Sort of like the extra reading week at Trent in response to the high suicide rate?

What is it, Heritage Day? Wayne Gretzky Departure Mourning Day? Sheikdom of Ralph Day?

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.
The job before this one we got 5, I think (Xmas, NY, Turkey, Labor and Independence). They mocked the idea that we should stop selling for any other reason -- but weren't above having our paychecks delayed because "the banks aren't open anyway..."
I know that I'm the only Buffista who gets, as a paid holiday, the National Day of Prayer. For real. Big!Boss is a fundie, so lo and behold, we get that day off. Also Good Friday.
