I was told today,15.02.08 to come to work on Monday 18.02.08 although we have hardly any work to do. I would like to know if this is a "Real Holliday" or can employers opt out of this. This appears to be like everything else Mr. McGuinty does.]]>

So, I just came back from the Varsity where I got movie tickets for tonight, and they have not made the GST reduction. When I asked about the reduction I was told to contact head office, I was talking to the manager and she couldn't do anything. Instead of showing a sign with the ticket price, admission charge, GST and total printed on it, why don't they just show one that says "the GST has gone down but you still pay the same price or something". I was not going to make a scene for 20 cents, but it's quite annoying.]]>

Actually, Chris, if you have a praise or complaint about advertising campaigns you can address them to Advertising Standards Canada. http://www.adstandards.com/en/]]>

The cell phone thing reminds me (half-way) of <a href="http://www.wearcam.org" target="_blank">Steve Mann and all his sousveillance stuff</a>.  Can I upload photos of the eyesore that is Yonge and Dundas, or do they only care about non-corporate vandalism?

Improper dumping seems like it might be the most useful thing to address with this, because I'm sure we've all encountered some horrible mess somewhere totally inappropriate and not known what to do about it.

I think I'd like to see a more accessible and effective general complaints process or set of processes.  If I have some huge problem with junk or graffiti in some location I could probably figure out what to do about it via the phonebook, but what about things like ad campaigns that are widely regarded as distasteful, why aren't citizens given room to point that sort of thing out and have it be potentially addressed?]]>

At a student at one of the few schools where Family Day follows immediately after but doesn't overlap reading week, I cast my vote for WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Not sure it'll be about playing Monopoly with my kids, though.]]>

Hey Ben,

I also think it'll be a landslide in favour of the holiday.

The poll was actually inspired by a comment made by reader Chester Pape in yesterday's Brew:

"I'll bet if you canvas around you won't find that in fact "most Torontoians" are in fact welcoming family day."

re poll: I think Family Day is a no-brainer, slam dunk (etc).  I think it is no coincidence that what I think of as the worst part of the year was the 3+ month stretch with no long weekend.]]>
