Plenty of people have been asking me to explain what exactly Ontario Family Day.
It’s easy to explain.
Recognizing there’s no holiday in February, Premier Dalton McGuinty decreed there shall be a day of rest. The people rejoiced! And said it was good.
Next time Republican politicians talk about family values ask them why they haven’t given voters a Family Day holiday like those abortion loving Canadians have. President Obama should ditch his health care plan and work on getting some more holidays in the USA calendar. Watch those rating numbers improve!
Like a pay raise, no politician will vote against a holiday.
Especially one in the middle of winter.
Everyone I’ve been hanging out with could really use a day off right about now. A day to unwind. Regroup. We’re halfway through winter. Closing in Apr. 20!
Family Day is great respite from the winter doldrums.
It’s the only positive Ontario Liberals can trump up when they’re campaign stumping.
If we don’t use Family Day to its fullest Ontario Conservative party will take it away from us. It’s part of their evil plan when they take power. Roll back any progressive changes made since Premier Mike Harris left office.
This is only Ontario’s third effort at Family Day.
So we’re kind of new at. Including the definition of Family Day.
It’s important, given the day doesn’t have an official like plan, to give Family Day a memorable meaning soon.
Or it could be taken away.
Do we all go to Vegas to gamble our province out of debt?
Some people I’ve spoken with have been decrying Family Day because they’d have to spend the day with relatives. Or other family members who they don’t want to spend a day off with.
Making it another sucky holiday.
My suggestion to them is to spend their Family Day maxing and relaxing with very close friends. Get gunned on ganja! Watch Family Guy with friends on Family Day. Especially considering everything is on a holiday schedule.
