What makes the Canada calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Canada signature lives in the other dates: Victoria Day (Victoria Day, 18. Mai), found in no other country in the dataset; Canada Day (Canada Day, 1. Juli), found in no other country in the dataset; National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, 30. September), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from New Year's Day (1. Januar) to Good Friday (3. April): 92 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 8 nationwide holidays and Victoria Day will fall on a Montag (24. Mai).
