Are we still getting those answers today?

Today is a holiday in Canada (Victoria Day) so I expect the Devs and their crew will be mostly taking the day off.

Of course, being a forum, they can easily post from home, but I am trying to be realistic and not expect anything today. If they do, then I'll be pleasantly surprised

He said Monday... and its Monday! I understand though...

Sweet. I feel like a herion junkie in line at the methadone clinic waiting for my next dose.

Who cares? New episodes of Top Gear UK and Richard Hammond's Crash Course today on BBC America! yay Monday!

[PANZERBUNNY]

Riots in Montreal over tuition...NATO summit in Chicago with war veterans returning medals to their Generals and civil unrest....we need some Mechwarrior news to make it a nice full weekend and an energetic start to the week and future change.

A holiday for an event like this ???

[Hawkeye 72]

Victoria Day??? Why does Canada have all these random holidays?!?!?! This is unacceptable!

[Redshift2k5]

Americans can have Washington's birthday(President's Day) and Lincoln's birthday, and Columbus Day, and MLK Day, but Canada having a day for the queen of Canada is one holiday too many?

Canada has a queen?

Queen Victoria. The Queen of England, and most other commonwealth countries (Her position as Queen of Canada is a separate legal person than the queen of england). About the only thing she really does is appear on our coinage and occasionally visits. She is obviously not a political leader, she is a figurehead.

Victoria Day is more important to most Canadians as the first three-day-weekend after everything thaws out, and is colloquially knows as May two-four, and is a notable camping/partying/spend time in the sun holiday

I don't get off of work or school for any of those holidays...except MLK Day for some strange reason. Usually end up throwing an awesome MLK party.

Same as with Australia. It still has that English province stamp on it, but only as a fancy looking stamp.

She has no power in England (mostly), let alone in places on the other side of the globe.

I've always preferred this video , by the great Tom Brokaw, when describing Canada.





And just so I stay on Topic....... yeah I hope we get a tidbit of info, but enjoy your holiday neighbors.




Cheers.

Almost all Canadian holidays are in the summer... because in the winter its Hell on Earth.

[Kenyon Burguess]
