I think you are asking too much if you want to make this a Nation Wide rule. Please keep in mind that most people in Que'bec dont really care about Canada (Day).

If this statement is true, then I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by the Gallop poll released this week that stated the majority of english speaking Canada believes it is Que'bec's goal to separate from the country.
