Canadian stat holidays can be pretty confusing because of differences in the federal and provincial regulations - you can read about user posted comments about this in the Canadian Holidays Forum. In most countries there is one single list of national holidays observed everywhere in the country by every employee, federal or not. Why can't we all commemorate Remembrance Day? How come Quebec celebrates Easter Monday instead of Good Friday? Who knows, but until the country has one unified list of national holdiays for everyone here is a list of federal Candian statutory holidays in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
