New Stat Holiday in Canada?

So i run into this new Stat Holliday in Canada.Sep 30.

I followed up -what ,how,when etc.

I was surprised to find out-that the Holliday does NOT apply to Canada as a whole.

It does apply to the Federal Employees ?Am i right -or missing something?

If the Truth and Reconciliation day was set to share and REFLECT on the lessons learned from the past-WHY we(the rest of the country) are deprived from that opportunity?
Why only Federal employees have a need-or have a right for this?

How the rest of Canada will look at the day-and onto the ppl having the BENEFIT of this extra Stat?

How dividing Canadians in this sensitive matter helps "the cause"?

How -making yet again privileged certain employees help the Country,to stay "united"in a certain matter ,as a whole?

Or this is just another Liberal publicity stunt and useless virtue signalling?

Am i missing something?

(not discussing the occasion and reason-just the Stat).

Vote buying

Garbage, virtue signalling, vote buying more junk from the left

What a joke ... so they say, let's make a holiday for this reflection ... but it will only apply to us, everyone else ... carry on.

This parliament is a complete joke ... they should ALL be fired ... I'm sorry but this "democratic" system of ours is a complete failure,
and we have no way of holding these morons accountable.

And......if we look deep down,this is what they say to the rest of "not so privileged Candians"-When we are off PAID,You will / have to /no choice.......will work on that day!!!!


You will be WORKING ,and the money YOU make ,for which WE can decide how much of that to take away from YOU (via taxes)-well, WE will use THAT money to PAY our MERRY fully PAID day off !!!

To be honest I heard about it, but didn't know anything about it. To be a stat holiday my understanding always was it shuts down Canada from one end to the other.

Looks like the same format as 'Remembrance Day'....you get paid extra if your business is still open, but Federal depts, Banks, etc will be closed.

Did I hear the village idiot right, that he promised 10 paid sick days off, to federal employees ??? He is doing everything he can to split up this country ! Time to go !!

To the best of my knowledge they already get more then 10. I know those who were real employees at Natural Resources Canada got 15 days paid sick leave, well at least the ones I worked with and the manager who hired me got 20.

So does this mean they get 10 more?

I always thought they had 2 days a month....but it says they have 3, he's added 7 more to what they already have..

I had some Civilian ladies working in my office and they primarily used those 'sick' days when their kids were sick and couldn't go to day care.

Liberals will add another seven days to paid sick leave benefits for federally regulated workers, leader Justin Trudeau pledged from the campaign trail Friday.

Trudeau’s government created three days of paid personal leave in 2018 for workers who had been in their jobs for at least three months, and this promise would extend that to 10 days

Federal Statutory Holiday: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

As you may be aware, the government recently passed legislation to make September 30th a federal statutory holiday called the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Like all Canadians, this day provides an opportunity for each public servant to recognize and commemorate the legacy of residential schools. This may present itself as a day of quiet reflection or participation in a community event.


Does that makes it more fair....for the rest of the nation,who will be working and paying the ones they are not?Somewhow i thought Federal Governement is our Government too,not a separate Universe.
I guess i am wrong.


Start to sound like my old country-we were all equal,by law and constitution.
But-there were some,they were"more"equal.

Why does the idiot have to make it a holiday. Most people will just sleep in if they can and never think twice about it. I know I won't, didn't have anything to do with the problem in the first place.
