A petition to make Remembrance Day a national holiday

http://www.petitiononline.com/nov11th/petition.html

Despite all the hubaloo the Parliament makes about supporting the troops and supporting the vets and whatnot, Remembrance Day is still not a national holiday.

Yet we have holidays like Civic Holiday, or Victoria Day which serves no purpose other than a day off to get drunk.

Let's petition for a holiday that is worth a good reason

Whether you get Remembrance Day off is by provincial decision, not federal.

For example, it's not a public holiday in Ontario
