Canada's Ontario Province Would Get 6 New Public Holidays ... If The Green Party Is Elected

Sources: Radio-Canada, La Presse Canadienne, and Canada public holidays. Presumably inspired by our post of September 3, in which we reported that, if elected, the Ontario Liberal Party had promised a new provincial public holiday, and not one to be outdone, the Ontario Green Party has now announced that if it were to be elected, it would create not one, but six new public holidays !

These six new public holidays would be: Ontario Day (the first Monday in March), Earth Day (April 22), the Friday before the August Civic Holiday, November 11, as well as the dates of municipal and provincial elections.

The Green Party is not expected to win Ontario's upcoming provincial elections on October 10, 2007.
