RE: Family Day in Alberta!
I remember when the then Premier decided to call this Family Day. It was at the same time his son was in court fighting cocaine charges. Why he decided to make this 'family' day is beyond me. I still think that "Winter Break Day" would make more sense considering that so many people have no real families or are in super dysfunctional families. The thought was nice, but not well thought out. For many, it is just a reminder of either a mess in their lives or something that is missing in their lives. I guess that's why I like generic harmless names for things like "Winter Break" or "Mid-Winter Breather".
