Remembrance Day: National holiday?

[Vanni Fucci]

Don't like the term holiday in reference to our dead veterans..just seems to be disrespectful! Remembrance Day is the only term i use and my province has made it a day off for everyone.

How about observance?

As in a quiet moment of reflection and introspection on behalf of our fallen?

As long as I last at my new job, I get it off. I have Thursday off too, by birthday - 29 foeva!

In Canada, Remembrance Day is a holiday for federal government employees; for private business, provincial governments, and schools, its status varies by province.

In Western Canada and Atlantic Canada, it is a general holiday; in Ontario and Quebec, it is not, although corporations that are federally registered may make the day a full holiday, or instead, designate a provincially-recognized holiday on a different day.

Should Remembrance Day be a national holiday for everyone?
