It's the second consecutive year that Canada Day is failing to trigger a long weekend and while some communities are shifting celebration dates you can bet there's one that doesn't bend on the nation's birthday.

Jesus, must be a slow news day...here's a prediction, it won't be part of a long weekend next year either...

We always worked Canada Day and then took a long weekend. If CD was in the middle of the week, all we ever needed was a couple of rain drops Tuesday night so we could phone into the office Wednesday morning to say it rained and we were out of there for 5 days.

Because most stat holidays are long weekends, I've always appreciated Canada Day ( and remembrance day) even more when they land on a weekday.

Personally I think it should be the first Monday of July so not only could we have a long week-end, but everyone could celebrate it. And it would be good for the economy.

I just hope it doesn't rain like it did last year. Heck, it rained so much several underpasses flooded.
