Happy Family Day

Family Day is tomorrow. I can’t believe the heat that Dalton is taking over creating a new Holiday. Over 60% of the province will recognize the holiday and many of the ones who will not already get more than the minimum the law sets out. Take the Big 3 for example. We get the Friday before May 24, the Friday before Labour Day and Easter Monday. Those are three Holidays that the general population does not get off so for us to complain is rather shallow at best. Would I like another Holiday? Sure would. But I’m not self centered enough to not appreciate the fact that many people get it off and through negotiations we may get the day off in the future as well.

A funny note is that John Tory tells anyone who listens that the holiday is a bad idea. If John was being truthful he would acknowledge that everyday for him is a holiday because he lost his seat. Just like his childish antics about the time changes for QP. Obviously he is opposed because he doesn’t want to have to get up that early to watch it on TV. I hope to God that he loses the leadership because otherwise he is going to cost taxpayers lots of money with a by-election when one of his peons steps down so he can have another go at getting elected.
