National Day of Truth and Reconciliation

[Snuffleupagus]

The chart below reflects a workers vacation time after one year of service, it's 9 years old but I suspect not much has changed, I know the US looks really bad because they don't have a national law for vacation time but I suspect most still get a minimal 10 days, the UK is something else and I know Australia is great for vacation time as well, a former in-law of mine got 10 weeks of vacation after working 15 years at her job, missing from the list is Finland (voted #1 for happiest people on earth), they get 2.5 vacation days per month worked resulting in 6 weeks of paid leave after working one year.



Make no wonder the west has so many happy billionaire's and miserable workers

I don’t give a care about Xmas, Easter, Victoria Day, but damn would I like to retire early and get down to drinking full time.

I think holidays build community.

They also provide a much better break from work and are more able to spend time with others when everybody has them.

These days become meaningful because people have them off work. I would hope eventually Alberta recognizes as an official holiday.

I've been reading a lot of indigenous authors recently. I highly recommend Richard Wagamese's book Embers: One Ojibway's Meditations. I find the spiritualism of some indigenous cultures really resonates with me today.

Its commonly known that the French and Spanish barely even go to work in the first place.

So youre saying there is a lot of French and Spanish accountants?

I read Medicine Walk last year. It was great.
