jacee Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 If you go to something like a Ribfest or the EX. You used to have to go to a fenced off area to buy and consume alcohol. For the past few years you haven't had to do those things. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2011/05/23/ontario_on_track_to_loosen_liquor_laws_by_summer_attorney_general.html Can I take my own picnic and a beer and sit in a park/at a beach etc and drink it yet?Not civilized enough yet!

Guest Kenneth Posted May 22, 2013 Report Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Okay I changed it again - I don't see how referring to them is a "third party insult" since that's basically the ideological make up of the people behind this. But I see that talking about the terror attack in the UK is Verboten... Edited May 22, 2013 by Kenneth Quote

The title of this discussion has been changed to Petition to change the name of "Victoria Day" so that it may accurately reflect the subject matter. Just a suggestion: I was looking for the forum rules the other day, and it took me 5 minutes to find them. I'd suggest putting the rules on the top banner so everyone can see the rules link on every page they're on, ie: next to the "open quick navigation" button or before the search bar etc. Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.
jbg Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) As long as I get my day off they call it Basil Fawlty day if they want. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2013/05/19/victoria-day-rename.html Quoted language: "Author Margaret Atwood, Green Party leader Elizabeth May and actor Gordon Pinsent are among those behind an online petition to rename the public holiday, which is celebrated on Monday, as 'Victoria and First Peoples Day'." As long as I get my day off they call it Basil Fawlty day if they want. No sense of history or honor (not "honour") here? What is wrong? Is there no pride? Many of these people dont consider themselves to be Canadian, yet one of innumerable ways in which Canada has decided to acknowledge them - despite repeated accusations that they are ignored - is through National Aboriginal Day - not a holiday, but then again why should we have a "holiday" to 'celebrate' any ethnic group? http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1100100013248/1100100013249 There are 450,000 people in this country who are Welsh or have Welsh ancestry - should there be a holiday to recognize them, too? Rather than a holiday, I would propose that a day be set aside where schools educate people about First Nations and their problems. In the U.S. I believe the same should happen for Veterans (same as Remembrance) Day, Columbus Day (same date as your Thanksgiving) and Martin Luther King Day. I do not believe in yet another paid day off for unionized public servants. Some people want to get rid of Mother's Day too. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/no-more-father-s-mother-s-day-school-nixes-celebration-in-the-post-nuclear-age-1.1287370 Do you mean "Hallmark Bonanza Day"? I'm a happily married and proud father of two and I'd get rid of Father's Day in a heartbeat.

Guest Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 No sense of history or honor (not "honour") here? What is wrong? Is there no pride? It would be honour, for me. I don't celebrate any other royal birthdays, so I simply don't care whether or not my holiday is named after Queen Victoria. I also have no objection to it being named after Queen Victoria. Quote
g_bambino Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 I don't celebrate any other royal birthdays.... Actually, you do: The same date as Victoria Day is also the official birthday of the reigning monarch; it's a two-for-one. Quote

Her real birthday is 21 April, but the official one is the Monday before 24 May in Canada, sometime in June in the UK, the second Monday in June in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Australia, and the first Monday in June in New Zelaand.

Guest American Woman Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Whose? QE II or Victoria? The Official Birthday of Queen Elizabeth II and Victoria Day are two separate holidays but both are celebrated on the Monday that falls between 18th and 24th May inclusive. http://crht.ca/the-queens-birthday-in-canada/ Quote
