"Pay For The Governments Latest Grand Scheme Event"
If anybody in Manitoba is looking at buying a bed, they should buy it from Best Sleep Center. Why am I plugging a matress company? Because of this commercial, possibly the greatest radio ad EVER. I caught this from Jim Cotton.
Its so damn obvious, but Dave Keam is the only one with the guts to say it.
What I find most surprising is that Gary Doer and the NDP only proposed a one-day holiday. It's February, it's Reading Week for us University types, so why not give all of Manitobans a reading week, huh Gary? Doer has absolutely zero concern for the business that drives our economy, and will sell them down the river in a heart-beat if it'll buy him one or two more Union votes.
Update: Either Gary Doer's going to have the wind pulled from his sails, or Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan (who just introduced their own February holiday) will be having extremely lazy winters.
It should be noted (since the CBC article doesn't even mention it) that Peggy Nash is a member of the NDP. As the wise and profound Jim Lahey - Trailer Park Supervisor once said, "The shit apple doesn't fall far from the shit tree".
February, thirty-five below, the slowest retail month of the year, the shortest month of the year, and hard enough to pay the rent this month for small business and our tired government wants to give us all a day off. According to them the planet is about to boil, and they gather in a room and come up with, I know - a holiday! That will get us re-elected!

Peggy Nash, MP for Parkdale-High Park, was expected to table on Thursday a private member's bill that asks the federal government to make Flag Day, Feb. 15, a legal federal holiday.
