said by HiVolt:OT, but why the hell are banks closed on Remembrance Day why the rest of us have to work? Federal law. That's why. You'll notice there was no mail delivery today, either. Several provinces, but not all, also have Rememberance Day as a stat as well. |

Federally regulated means federal employment standards legislation. It was a stat holiday over at Bell and Rogers, too. |

Seems somewhat unfair... Depends what part of the company... Some parts of Bell/Rogers/TELUS/MTS were off today. Some worked... There honestly is no rhyme or reason anymore as to who's off when... |

There was no traffic today in Ottawa because civil servants had the day off. I think I was the only person working in the city. |
