I'm having some trouble with this one. I only see 8 items with the word "National" in them. August 5 and December 26 don't say "National," but 5 and 26 are both on your list. I note that they both do say "ON" (Ontario). But some items that say ON aren't on your list of bank holidays...

Not exactly Bank Holidays but what we call Public Holidays. I gave UncW a point for close enough.

So in the "free" world you only get 10 bank/national/public holidays total. Haha, so your respective governments make you work like slaves for the corps Doesn't sound very free to me..

This list has 194 entries total:

35, 32, 41, 45, 33, 23, 32, 36, 30, 38, 40, 20, <skip 179 entries>, 37, 31, 33

And 2 or 3 more Provincial or Special holidays. And a minimum of 15 up to 40 vacation days.

There are also weekends. Many businesses are closed or on short hours on weekends.

Which brings up a real intrusion by government: Long since, many States have enacted laws, and municipalities ordinances, prohibiting the conduct of certain kinds of business on Sunday. These are known as "Blue laws."

Although the original intent was to encourage church attendance (by eliminating alternatives), blue laws are deemed constitutional if they are given a non-religious rationale.
