Do you guys get the day off?

We do, and I think that contributes to it...Although for some reason this year's felt like a spectactular day of events, whereever I went, something about anzac day was on the tip of everyones toungue. I was very proud of my country yesterday.

ya we get certain days off like Presidents day, Independance day, x-mas etc. But usually people are more concerned about how fun the days are. And really its just Independance day thats really patriotic.

I meant for your memorial/remembrance/veterans day....Do you get that off?

^ Yes, both Memorial and Veteran's day.

400 000 Canadians went over seas in World War 1. 60 000 gave their lives. November 11th is our day of rememberence. We do not get the day off, but we still hold services. I find it hard to find anyone who does not own a poppy.
