Family Day - Now an official Public Holiday in SK

[purelife]

The province of Saskatchewan has introduced Family Day as a Public Holiday held on February 19.  Albertains get the same deal.  We need one too!  We need a new statutory holiday in Feb.

personally they should have a holiday each month. And don't tell me a friday off every month is going to hurt business. Nobody does anything on fridays and I mean come on we in North America have the lowest vacation days on average then everybody else. I like the idea.

Isn't that discriminating against those with no families?    

They should have a holiday for the lonely and forgotten   *single tear*

There is............ it's called Valentine's Day.

[Sportsdude]

 well I guess since its called 'family' day the singles will be the only ones out and about so it promotes more families, I guess.  

[Sportsdude]

You know I hate Valetine's Day.  Somebody should start a focus group where if your single and lonely on Valetines Day you should all come together and then cry on each others shoulder. Oh wait thats speed dating.  

[tenkani]

LOL. Several arab countries ban the celebration of Valentine's day.

Maybe we should go on vacation to the middle east at that time of the year.

I say it would be worth risking a roadside bomb to avoid all the pink lace and stupid fracking diamond comercials!!

Valentine's Day are for people with fat wallets.  OMG, flowers are freaking expensive!  And to deliver them to the office or home or whereever your other half is, EXPENSIVE!

[Lise]

Faugh! If there's one damn 'holiday celebration' that should be kicked out the door, it's Valentine's Day. I don't get this holiday. Celebration of love? WTH? One day to jack-up the prices of your dinner menu, flowers, chocolates....... bah humbug.

  I don't understand why they make kids give out Valentine cards at school. Talk about marketing scam directed at the wee ones.

Emoticons are much more economical.

I agree that V-day is overated... it gets costly and hard to find a place to have a nice dinner at.

  Although statistics say that the sex on that day is exponentially higher than any other day.. wonder why?

[Lise]

Heck, you could have exponentially good sex everyday if you know what to do.

[tenkani]

I've heard people discussing Valentine's Day sex.

Like, it's Valentine's Day so we need to have our yearly sex now.

In, out, repeat if necessary    

[Lise]

Why do you men forget the word FOREPLAY??

[Sportsdude]

The reason why sex is higher on V-day then anytime of the year is because thats about the only time parents actually have sex.
