That would put Ontario on par with Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Territories.

EDIT TO ADD:
Yup. Just checked here:

No February stat holiday for BC. This is bad even by Mope and Wail standards.
DBA said:I think the reference is to the number of holidays not when they are.
BC has 9 : http://www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb/facshts/stats.htm
Ontario has 8 : http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/es/factsheets/fs_public.html
Seems most have the 1st Monday of August as a holiday which seems more desirable to me. A long weekend in what is usually the coldest month of the year with the March break so close seems like a waste.

Not likely, if he gets elected, its a one year notice that the pays will be cut by 1/250th. Sorry kids but after CPP, UIC, GST, PST, EHT, WSIB, :crybaby: source deductions, corporate tax fed, corporate tax prov. 8 other stats, then personal tax if theres any left :rage:
Thats helping our manufacturing sector to be competitive, thanks gimpy mcdalton, you jack ***.
I think I snapped
Beyond the holiday, voters embraced the status quo – just four years after McGuinty implored them to "choose change."
