I know just enough to know there are limits to what I know. Like the official status of Easter.

A classic Canadian question is "Who has jurisdiction?" It seems like so much of our politics is devoted to turf wars among the different levels of government. And one of the battlegrounds is the matter of Holidays. My guess is that Easter is a Provincial Holiday rather than a National Holiday. I could be wrong on this, but I've noticed that here in Alberta, a lot of businesses close on Easter Monday as well as on Good Friday. In Ontario, I don't recall that happening. Alberta schools are closed on both Good Friday and Easter Monday. I'm pretty sure that never happened while I was going to school in Ontario. That was quite a while ago, I know, but yeah.

Since schools are a matter of Provincial jurisdiction, not National, I figure this indicates that at least Easter Monday is a Provincial Holiday. But Good Friday could be either nationally or provincially mandated. Confused? Good. We're on equal footing then. :confused:
