Happy “May 2-4” (a.k.a. Victoria Day)!

I mentioned Queen Victoria last week, in my rebuttal to NOW Magazine’s pointless cheap shot at Commander Chris Hadfield (which, by the bye, got written up by Peter Nowak on the Macleans and Canadian Business sites).

Today, it’s Victoria Day, a statutory holiday here in Canada that celebrates the birthday of Queen Victoria, gives us an excuse to light up some fireworks, and marks the beginning of white pants season. I may have to break out this suit:

For this day, I give you the Kinks’ classic, Victoria. Have a safe and fun “May 2-4”!
