Lures? Lures?! We don't need no stinkin' Lures!

Hey brother, stand on th eother side of this river, and grab this net. It's smoked trout for dinner eh!

But really, holidays are much the same as American Holidays, some of them just happen at different times. Thanksgiving is way earlier in Canada, but we still have one. We (sadly) don't take Halloween as seriously, but I thikn it should be a holiday everywhere.

If you live in Albera, there is a strange "Family Day" holiday that seems to be out of sync with everything else, but then so is ALberta generally.

We, of course, have Canada Day on July 1st, where as your 4th of July is Independance Day (I think, right?), but it usually turns out to be a long weekend for both sides of the border.

We have Victoria Day in May which usually coincides with the American Memorial Day weekend, but sometimes (like this year) they are one week apart.

Still, on average, Americans and Canadians recieve about the same amount of holiday time in the course of the year. Ironically, Europeans get about 30 - 40 percent MORE holidays than North Americans, yet a recent in-depth study revealed that they even though they work fewer days a year, and generally fewer hours in a day, they productivity of the two groups is equal. Go figure.

Peace,

Pierre
