December 26 is now a Government holiday!

I stand corrected, Ontario does recognize boxing day. B.C. does not.

It's Remembrance day that Ontario does not recognize. What is the rationale there?

That may not last long but it's a rationale that I agree with. The veterans banded together and decided that they'd rather future generations use the day to remember rather than an excuse for a holiday. Workplaces and schools always pause for services and observance.

I am sure you are closer to the experience in Canada, but my wife's Toronto employer scheduled meetings on Remembrance Day and was upset when the B.C. managers declined the invite. Maybe that is just a Toronto thing.

I was in Toronto area and it was always respectful. But everywhere is different.

It's Putin's propaganda organ. One of them, anyways.

Ah, Russia today, got it. Still the story is everywhere, or was back in September. Now we don't care. Edited December 9, 2014 by GandD

I pegged you as a double double type

I don't know what a double double is. I drink my coffee black, no sugar, been that way for about 20 years.

Double Sugar Double Cream at Tim Hortons

Thanks, I don't think I could drink coffee any other way but black after drinking it that way for so long. It's the same with regular tonic, I've been drinking diet tonic for so long a sip of regular tonic would prolly give me an instant coronary.

I used to drink it black until I had bleeding Stomach ulcers. Cream is too heavy for me so I'll add milk and the odd sugar.
