The Canadian government insists that BlackBerry Cool shut down for a day in order to build our content and relax the creative nodes in our brains.
Victoria Day is a Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the Monday preceding May 24. It honors Queen Victoria’s birthday.
Since the British have been run out of town, Victoria Day is also commonly called the May 2-4 weekend and it marks the unofficial start of the cottage season where 2-4 cases of beer are consumed by hard working Canadians.
Happy Beer Day.

Looking for… oh… what’s it called again? Oh yea… no… lost it. Wait! Some application to help you remember really important events and holidays? Datepedia by Mobatech will help you do just that.
Datepedia is a neat little app that lets you export various events and holidays to your calendar, whether it be native to your country, your religion, or your preferred sports league. Yup, the makers of Mobile Bartender – another cool app that includes over 200 drink recipes and duly encourages my drinking and forgetfulness – have created an app that can combat even the worst of hangovers. If you’ve got too big a headache to remember the newly created Family Day, Datepedia may be the one thing that vindicates your playing hooky.

I’m sure all of our U.S. readers are wondering right now if they blacked out and woke up in late November, but trust us, Canadians are celebrating their Thanksgiving holiday right now (being the responsible nation that we are, we don’t like to dally and prefer to get our holidays out of the way early).
What does this mean for BlackBerry Cool? A few less updates tomorrow as I will be heading back to the nation’s capital from the wilds of Northern Ontario. The BlackBerry Cool Podcast will also likely go up Tuesday or Wednesday, allowing Fake Ted Rogers and myself some time to digest our turkey and reflect upon the week that was.
To all Canadian members of the BlackBerry Nation, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday! Americans, you’ll get your turn soon enough!

If Labour Day celebrates labour, shouldn’t we be laboring more today? Despite that logic, BBCool HQ totally disagrees and has taken the day off. We’ll be back tomorrow for your regularly-scheduled BlackBerry coverage. Hope you guys are all enjoying your holiday, too!
