Shouldn't it be Happy Victoria Day to Canada except New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island??

Its Canada's day to calibrate Queen Victoria's birthday. After all we were a British colony"with a stiff upper lip".
Now days it is mostly just another long weekend also known as May day. But back in the day it would have been a celebration much like your independence day with a strong British influence.

I think I will go with the video!! Much clearer explanation.

OK - so you celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday.
Do you celebrate the current Queens birthday too.
(We celebrate the current Queens birthday but not Victoria's)
Cheers
