At-least part of the Easter holiday in Canada is a holiday and get holiday pay....Not so in the US, none of Easter weekend is an actual official holiday.

That's because Americans prefer to have holidays for more patriotic reasons no?

I don't think any more then Canada, the holidays are all basically the same with just a couple exceptions.

14 states do recognize Good Friday, but its not on the federal level or the remaining states. I've never really figured out why Easter Holiday is ignored, and the most said reason is because its a religious holiday, but I don't fully know for sure if that is the reason.

No Monday off for me in municipal government (although they give us a day off in lieu of the Easter Sunday which we can take before the end of the year)

All times are GMT -12. The time now is 10:39 pm.
