Happy Labor Day to those hardworking CEOs in Quebec, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, etc. who probably put in more hours than the ordinary whining worker!

Here in Mexico exactly no labor day, but I believe that the September 5 is the more common celebrated in this side of the world.

In fact, to be more accurate, in Canada (and maybe the USA, but not sure) it is the first Monday of September.

I think he wanted to say that althought it's a special day for the workers, it's even more -special- for the rural people because of the help from the government.

The government leader or the congressman works more than 8 hours too while all his constituents have to do is use the roads, sewerage, water systems without even thanking the politician who made them all possible. Happy Labor Day too, Stephen Harper, Gilles Duceppe, Layton, and Michael Ignatieff.
