This is the Talking Dead, a podcast dedicated to the AMC my name is Chris and my name Chris. And this is episode number 678 of The Talking Dead recorded

on August the 5th, 2024. Well, Jason, how's the good long weekend treating you?

Like I kicked its dog.

Oh, that's fine.

It's very relaxing.

We haven't done shit and it's glorious.

Yeah, I'm having the you know the Sunday night dreads some people

experience. Oh yeah like my whole life there you go I'm sort of having those

tonight except that it's Monday.

Yeah. And it's a short week because today is sort of a holiday in Canada.

I learned this weekend that the first Monday in August, which is today, most people get the day off, but it's not a federally

regulated statutory holiday.

It's not really anything other than almost everybody

got together and said you know what we're going to take that day off and there's

nothing they can do about it. Yeah no it's not even the same holiday in

different places it's Simcoe day down here but that it's not even the same holiday in different places.

It's Simcoe Day down here, but that it's not even Simcoe Day in my hometown of

Susay Marie. It's some other day.

No, and I learned that this weekend too, that it's, the name for it is regulated by the municipality so

the little towns cities they can all call it whatever they want and that's's it. And you're right, Toronto calls it Simcoe Day.

Where you live, they might call it something else and you're only 30 kilometers from my house.

Could be nuclear power plant day. It could be. Because we're close to a nuclear power plant. You live next door to one that's right
