Maybe there is a secret Canadian holliday.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

I remember when we used to spend at least a month in Nfld every summer, it seemed like every Monday was a "bank holiday."

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

ETA: Whoops! It's in Alberta. Damn Albertans!

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.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism
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.
