So, my friends to the North, not to be Internationally ignorant, but what is Victoria Day? Please elaborate on why you celebrate, and how you celebrate. Thanks. BTW, Happy Victoria Day!

Its Canada's day to calibrate Queen Victoria's birthday. After all we were a British colony"with a stiff upper lip".
Now days it is mostly just another long weekend also known as May day. But back in the day it would have been a celebration much like your independence day with a strong British influence.
I think I will go with the video!! Much clearer explanation.
OK - so you celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday.
Do you celebrate the current Queens birthday too.
(We celebrate the current Queens birthday but not Victoria's)
Cheers
