#1
I'm just curious....why don't ontario and quebec celebrate remembrance day by making it a Statutory holiday? I've talked to people from all over canada, and no one seems to have a solid answer.
Anyone know?

I dont see much done in Alberta either..
I'm forced to work it every year.... same with every other holiday for that matter other then christmas...
no one cares anymore about any holidays.. be it rememberance day.. easter.. or whatever.. family/country comes last in just about every company these days....

Why would anyone celebrate a day like this? If you mean why don't Ontario and Quebec have the day off, thats another story.
I listened to a discussion on the radio about this. Pretty much the general answer that they had was many veterans requested it not be a stat holiday because it would get forgotten. This way when people goto school/work most give 2 hours of silence to remember. If not most people would sleep away the day or just treat it as another day off and not know any better.
