@whatever2013, that's nice that such a new national holiday was created, in Canada. I think in the US "Election Day" should be made into a national holiday, where people get the day off of work. That, or make election day always fall on a Saturday instead of a stupid Tuesday. That would facilitate people actually getting out to vote, an ability that some states of the US want to be made more difficult, especially for some segments of the US population. If they would want to eliminate one to even have a new one, I'd say they should ditch US "President's Day".
