The queen one I get. We're a commonwealth nation. This is a once in lifetime history type thing. 70yrs on throne etc.
But what happens when king Charles dies? Another holiday? Bad precedent to start I suppose.
And the reconciliation day...I'm still waiting for them to find any bodies.
Alberta doesn't recognize it but my company does. And all the unions will be fighting for it to be a holiday.
We get the reconciliation day starting next year. Not sure how I feel about it. Obviously a day off with pay is nice but it does not seem right.

Schools will close in BC lol
All due respect to Ol' Lizzy but fuck the monarchy, at a time when society is rapidly sorting itself into serfs bonded to nobility the last thing we need is to keep worshipping literal aristocrats.
It's a race to the bottom right now. Very controversial imo. Don't like the direction we are headed. The idea that parliament can just use xx reason to give themselves a paid day off at our expense is a scary precedent.
