Remembrance Day (Canada) Veterans' Day (USA)

One of our underemployed politicos is trying to get Remembrance Day converted into an official full-fledged, fully paid stat holiday in Canada.

I have a better idea. Move it to June 6, the same as 'D' Day, and celebrate both together, during the nice weather, when the arthritic old farts won't need their 'long-johns', and won't get soaked in the autumn monsoons, nor get frostbite in a typical northern Canada snowstorm.

And then, I can celebrate my birthday just like any other red-blooded, hell-raising Canuck, instead of being depressed by all this annual 'doom & gloom'.
Just once on my birthday, I'd like to set off fireworks,  and yell "Yippee! Free At Last!!" without some somber poppy-wearing wannabe war hero reporting he found another Middle Eastern terrorist in our midst, and would someone come and arrest the insolent bastard for desecrating our holy memorial to the fallen of too many past wars? It's damned difficult to be happy with all that weeping and wailing and funeral music everywhere!

And all this began from the third minute after I landed on this disgustingly hostile little planet, at exactly 10:57 a.m., because my first howls at discovering this gawd-awful mess were interrupting the two minutes of silence at 11:00 a.m. of that cold and snowy 11th of November in that little town in northern Ontario, in the midst of the so-called 'Great Depression'. And I'm here to tell you there was nothing even remotely 'Great' about that depression. But that's for another story...
