Monday is our Federal Holiday of "Labor Day." This is a wonderful day for all of our working citizens to take a day off, put your feet up and chill.

Thanks to Canada originating the concept of "Labor Day" that we in the USA are reaping the benefits of the union activities of Canada....

Thank you again Canada....

Here's a link to the origin of Labor Day .....

How do you reconcile Labour Day, a day to celebrate workers rights, not dissimilar to May Day the international socialist day, and the arguments about universal healthcare over there?

Wow that's a heavy topic for me especially for a Sunday afternoon.
