For you Canadians, it all started in 1872, when the hard working men (no women at the time as far as I can tell) of the Toronto Typographical Union's marched and went on strike for a 58-hour work-week. This was he major start of the labor movement in Canada. While inspired by the American labor movement, they did a lot of hard fighting of their own that earns my respect. Together, as north and south, we reminded our governments that our countries were built on the blood and sweat of the workers, and they deserve respect.

So, eat some maple pancakes, have a reindeer burger, and most importantly, take the day off to remember those who shed blood fighting for your right to rest.
