Nov. 11 holiday

Re: Remembrance Day

Half the country gets Nov. 11 off to reflect on their ancestors who served or perished making Canada what it is today, while the rest of us have to work like nothing happened.

It’s a disgrace the provincial and federal governments don’t do anything to make the day a national holiday. I’m tired of paying my taxes for some people to have the day off as a bank holiday, then thumb their noses at the rest of us who do not. No wonder resentment exists in this, of all places, Canada.
