And, if you're in Ontario, I hope you've already bought your beer.

Good combination you have there, fizroy. Beer, cars and explosives. I look forward to a full report on the extent of your Canada Day injuries.

I love Canada Day - all that patriotic flag waving - wonderful stuff!! My son is shocked that England doesn't have an England Day.

oooooh now you've done it......

sore subject for those who wish to wave the St George's Cross flag.

Re: Canada Day
 

errrr... i'll be working, much like last friday which was quebec day!!! :(

Re: Canada Day
 

We just moved today so will be cursing that there are no shops open to get the numerous things we need. And trying to shove a fridge into a space that is 3/4inch too narrow. B***er.

The only fireworks will be me at the man who measured the space (Mr B, sadly, so I can't take the fridge back even...).

Re: Canada Day
 

ahhh yes Canada day in quebec is also the unofficial moving day... is that the same else where in the country?

Re: Canada Day
 

No. It's a Quebec thing and originates back to when Quebec was New France and the seigneurial system (a system of land distribution and occupation) was in place. It stems from a law that protected tenants from being evicted in winter and the phenomena of 'moving day' has just lingered on. There are a couple amusing documentaries about it sometimes shown on TV around this time. It's crazy, isn't it? :D

Re: Canada Day
 

While rental contracts probably still do usually end on July 1st, I'd be surprised if all that many people actually move on that day. There can't be enough removal trucks, the utility companies are closed and I can't imagine many notaries being at work.

It's high time the tradition was dropped. It creates havoc in the housing market (given that a fair number of renters will be looking to buy). Buying a house in May/June is a nightmare, as we discovered last year.
