Not really. When you live in an area where the industry is 24/7 having stores work somewhat close to the same schedule makes sense. It is really only government employees that are on the mon-fri 9-5 thing. Even our bank is open seven days a week and about 12 hrs most days.
I doubt it would fill the cenotaphs. Hasn't worked at the cenotaph near my place.
You have two, apparently separate, disagreements. You see no reason for Remembrance Day to be a stat holiday and if it were you would rather it be in the summer.
The best reason for Remembrance Day to be a stat is because it already has meaning. People observe it and people care about it. No one cares about Victoria Day. We can pick holidays to just give people days off, or we can pick holidays to have meaning (and give people a day off). There is no limitation to the number of stat holidays we have. We could have Remembrance Day and throw in another summer holiday to keep you happy. I don't see why you insist on taking issue with Remembrance Day not being the summer, but let's assume a stat in November somehow deprives the summer of some yet-decided stat and make a trade. Since you like your summer holidays, let's move New Years to August, because who cares what day we change the year over on? Then let's cancel Christmas and make Remembrance Day a stat. That way, you have your summer stat, we have a new stat with national importance and real meaning, and we do away with those close together pointless winter holidays.
Same in BC. We all managed.
No war but class war!
(and also Great War)
And butchers, plumbers, elevator repairmen, hot air balloonists, traffic lights, dogs, the tide...
Using that criteria, we should make Mothers Day a stat
I don't care when Remembrance Day is. I just think we should have a long weekend each week in the summertime before we start thinking of more winter stats.
Works for me but I don't think you'll have much luck getting the calendars changed.
Again, I don't think you will have much luck changing Christmas. Too many people like it the way it is. There isn't a great demand for a stat in November.
When I grew up the services in the school were on the 10th as we had the 11th off.
You're just being nitpicky to be needlessly obstinate. Calendars? That's a point? Who the **** cares?
A senior moment. I had forgotten I had already made the same point.
Calendars? We don't need no stinkin Calendars.
LMAO, you have met him before right?
So funny, complete case of mistaken identity for post but that calendars line, well I just gotta give ya props for it.
Just for you, and do remember, google is your friend.
The Pacific Mall, located on Steeles Avenue near Kennedy Road in Markham, is the largest indoor Asian mall in North America and takes pride in being open 365 days a year.

Maybe in your eyes, not in mine.
and everyone has that freedom. If it is that important to you, then you negotiate it when you are hired. If they won't acomadate, then you don't need to accept employment there.
I doubt that very much. Intelligence in a woman is important to me.
Translation, I'm not smart enough to understand.
See above.

Well Ger I could say I am not getting into a pissing contest with you.
I could say that you go out of your way to insult people who offered none to you.
I could say that ya really gotta think that something is wrong when someone prides themselves on being an a-sshole.
Well I will not say any of that.
