I agree BC took the worst path.
In BC most daycares are closing now because they follow what the local school districts do. Since they are private they don't have to close but most are.
Schools/daycares closing suddenly without giving everybody the day off is such a short sighted thing to do. It screws some people over so much while giving a paid day off to others. The average parents are not going to be able to secure child care especially since so many people don't get this day off. I guess at least their decision is in true spirit of the monarchy, taxes for some gifts for me!
In the past I was pretty indifferent about Canada having a constitutional monarchy but given Price Andrew is a known pedophile, the Royal Family doesn't pay taxes in the UK, King Charles won't pay the normal inheritance tax I am fully supportive of cutting ties.
I understand the Canadian tie is completely ceremonial but at a time when we are supposed to be trying to reconcile our past with a day focused on "truth and reconciliation" only two weeks later it stinks to to have a day of mourning for a ceremonial figurehead whose family has benefited from colonialism, racism and inequality.
