BTW - you could be excused for not celebrating #CommonwealthDay because you were overwhelmed by the festivities that you have to jam into your schedule today. In addition to waving the #UnionJack and looking for a good fish & chips restaurant, here are some of today's holidays on the fake holidays calendar.
National Barbie Day
Amerigo Vespucci Day
Bang Clang Day
Canberra Day
Fill Our Staplers Day
National American Paddlefish Day
National Crab Meat Day
National Dishwasher Day
National False Teeth Day
National Get Over It Day
National Heroes and Benefactors Day

There's only so many hours in a day...

Good Morning #Canada
Empire Day was 1st celebrated in May 1898 in Dundas, Ontario, created by Canadian author Clementina Trenholme. It was celebrated at various times of year throughout the British Empire and in 1958 the name was changed to #CommonwealthDay. In 1973, Brian Graves, from the Royal Commonwealth Society of Canada, wrote to PM Pierre Trudeau proposing that Commonwealth Day be observed on the same day throughout the Commonwealth. His proposal was approved at the Third Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, held in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1975. That's why the 2nd Monday in March is so special to Canadians and chock full of awesome activities. (Note: we need a sarcasm font)
Other than flying the Royal Union Flag at federal government buildings and a statement from the Governor General, I suspect the day will slip by quietly for 40 million Canadians. I might honour the day by boiling some food at lunch. (I'm a little bit sorry for that)
