    Yet another long weekend in Canada, because that's how we roll

    Simply known as the August Long Weekend. A long weekend for no apparent reason than just to have one, shoved into the year where none should exist... oh wait, it's EXACTLY where one should exist, right in the middle of summer. Hello?

    Crazy Canadians, right?

    Anyway beautiful day out. I think I'll head over to the parents and have dinner with them. Maybe cut the old man's grass for him. Traffic will be light, BECAUSE IT'S A LONG WEEKEND HERE.

      Spain does that in the middle of August.
      Which, considering only 30% of the population works and 95% of them are on holiday in August.. seems a waste of a day off.

                      I'm working the morning and taking the afternoonish part off. Seems like a decent compromise to me

                                          Victoria Day is May 24th. aka the May Two-Four weekend.

                                          The August holiday is simply called a "Civic Holiday". First Monday in August.
                                          Quebec doesn't get it because we get St-Jean Baptiste in June.

                                                      Victoria day is in May. (AKA: May long weekend)

                                                      August Long weekend here is called just that -- the August Long weekend. It has no other purpose or meaning behind it, it just is.

                                                          St Jean Baptiste rocks. At least when I was there (1976, for the Olympics).

                                                          Damn those frenchies know how to party. Damn near levelled Mt Royal that year. Best fireworks display I've ever seen, bar none.
