It's Victoria Day weekend, and everyone here at work is in a particularly festive mood. For those not familiar with the holiday, here's a short synopsis. It's intended as a celebration of our monarch's official birthday (and always falls on the first Monday before May 25th). But in popular parlance it's most often referred to as "Two-Four" weekend. Ask a Canadian what that means :)Great quote from Montreal Mayor Camillien Houde, greeting King George VI in 1939:
"Your majesty, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and Madame Houde thanks you from her bottom too."
