The holidays we have are so commercialized they hardly feel religious to me. Christmas and Easter are just times to spend with family, nothing to do with Jesus.
Then people should have no issue with them being moved around so the holidays are equally divided throughout the year, right? There’s no importance to them happening on the specific dates they do at the moment, right?
There’s only five true public holidays applied throughout the whole of Canada. Quebec has the National holiday but no civic holiday. Only four provinces out of ten (two of those only for government employees), the territories and jobs under federal jurisdiction have the truth and remembrance day. Even counting all of them there’s a big hole after the new year and the next one is… Good Friday which is 100% religious…
But that’s 12 holidays that could be separated to get rid of religious holidays and to give everyone one long weekend every month!

I’d just rather add more holidays tbh.
But that won’t happen
Canada’s done it

I guess I’m luckier than I realized. Thanks for the detailed info.
