Today it is a federal holiday in the US, Washington's Birthday (President's Day)
Even the stock markets in the US are closed.

Ok, so what does a US, Washington's Birthday (President's Day) has to do with Canada?
I don't get it, are you saying that Canada should celebrate a US president's BD too? China, Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan celebrating a US president's BD also?? **confused*

Too bad, BC doesn't have Family day. I used to live in Alberta and that was nice!

A lot of people want a holiday between Christmas and Easter. That is why they have Family Day holiday in other provinces.

Yes I do agree we should have some type of holidays between Christmas and Easter but I thought you were asking why we do not have Chinese New Year as Holidays in Canada when you compared today to Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong.
