Most business in Alberta stay open for family day and the people just take an extra day off during the summer when they can use it the most.
Here (in my area anyway) most places close on Family Day (except Federal). No one asked me, but I think it's a stupid holiday.... and would be better used in the summer as you have mentioned. Oh well. :dry:

Quote (from Xray - to Bruce:) "Do I detect a note of sarcasm there? I'm sure Beans will answer but I think he meant that before .... all businesses used to be closed on a Sunday (a day for families). Now, we have a new long weekend in February with a Monday being a stat. Most businesses are closed."
Bruce: Now that makes sence.

Beancounter's comments: Bruce, it is spelled SENSE.
As for not recognizing I was talking about SUNDAY: Slow on the uptake eh? Oh, well, I'll forgive you, for a lefty that comes with the territory. You can't help it, my sympathy.

If you meant it to be Sunday, then you should have said it was Sunday.
You go to the back of the class in letter writing.

Some level of knowledge, intelligence and understanding is expected here. This forum does not cater to grade 3 drop-outs. Which includes most lefties who can't think straight.
Why do I even bother?

If this forum didn't cater to grade 3 drop outs, you would have been gone long ago with your buddy RO.

By your own admission (in a previous post) I didn't do to badly for an (alleged) grade 3 drop-out now did I?
Maybe I was too generous: Did you flunk kindergarten? Which meant you had to rely on the union to go to bat for you? You admit to "a union" pension!
No employer ever put a nickel in my retirement savings. For CPP I had to pay double. THIS guy made it on his own. Landed in Halifax with nothing but a wife and suit-case. I may not be a university graduate, but made it in the "school of hard knocks." Can you say the same? NO, you had to rely on the union to do the work for you.

I didn't work for the union, they worked for me and I gladly paid for that service.
I worked for a privately owned and publicly trade company and the company contribution to our pension fund was a monetary item which was negatiated.

Beancounter, here are the pensions of your favourite political party if they were to resign today, which is very unlikely...so don't start bitching about my union pension plan


In a 1995 speech, harper called the pension package a "monstrosity."

"...I could not go home and look my wife or my constituents in the eye if I opted into a plan like the one offered in Bill C-85. Instead, I will put my own money into an RRSP," he said.

harper's Gang of Liars.

Annual pensions the 11 remaining former Reform Party MPs will get if they retire this year:

$108,516

Jim Abbott (Kootenay-Columbia)

$126,076

Diane Ablonczy (Calgary-Nose Hill)

$104,778

Leon Benoit (Vegreville-Wainwright)

$118,668

Garry Breitkreuz (Yorkton-Melville)

$118,668

John Cummins (Delta-Richmond East)

$80,648

John Duncan (Vancouver Island North)

$150,244

Stephen Harper (Calgary Southwest)

$118,668

Dick Harris (Cariboo-Prince George)

$142,637

Jay Hill (Prince George-Peace River)

$119,159

Keith Martin (Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca)

$155,733

Chuck Strahl (Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon)

I agree, this is obscene. Thanks to the Lie-berals who put it in.
With your mentality you also blame ME for obeying the law of the land and collecting OAW and CPP now, and (in the sixties) cashing our baby bonus cheques.
For a good example how socialism works, looks at Greece, where the unions are powerful, they have a LARGE civil "service" and (almost) nobody pays income tax.
Because of the Greek deficit and debt, (and Portugal, Italy, Ireland Greece and Spain, called the "PIIGS" countries) thanks to socialism, the Euro is now under great pressure, and has declined from a high of (Can. $ 1.70) and is now hovering at $ 1.40)
According to Kevin O'Leary (CBC - Lang and O'Leary Exchange) the Euro is heading for $ 1.28.
Thanks to Obozo the U.S. is heading for bankruptcy, but the people are waking up, and there is now speculation that in the November elections the Republicans MAY throw out so many Democrats that the House AND the Senate may go Republican. And that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will be history. I sure hope so! Both of them make a horse's ass look intelligent.

What is even more obscene, this is the same crowd that promised the voters that they would never take a dime of the Parliament pension, and used that lie to get themselves relected by fools like you.

Manning was the only one that never took the pension, even Debra Grey finally got her big fat snout into the public trough with her gold plated pension after years of promising not to.

Obama inherited an 8 trillion dollar debt from Bush and Cheney and it didn't matter who won the last election in the USA because if the banks had not been bailed out, the USA would have defaulted and sunk into the worst economic depression in history.
If you think the Republicans will win both house of congress in the next election, I have a couple of bridges to sell you. The American people know who plunged the country into debt and it wasn't Obama.
