    I agree with your question. Every summer month should have a holiday weekend.

    Wait.  What do you have against the other seasons.  Every month should have one. 

    Even March.  There IS the Ides of March, but who celebrates that besides me?

    No, I am not celebrating his murder.  I am REMEMBERING the betrayal.  I am Roman.  I shall never forget.  The Ides of March is come.  (I am still filled with umbrage and have not gotten over it).

    Honest, I do remember the conversation.  I do. BUT?  I am not IN freaking Canada. I am in freaking Trumpland and we have no August holiday day at all.

    I confess, I forget which holiday it was we spoke of.  Do I have to look it up?  I will if you have raw feelings about this issue.

    ahh YES.  Jaime, the light finally went on.

    CIVIC DAY.  I remember now.
