[color=#000000ost_uid0]Labour Day (optional u) is celebrated in May in the rest of the world. They changed it to September on this continent for two reasons:

1: Spacing. There was no stat holiday in September, and there was already one in May (in Canada at least - Victoria Day. Dunno 'bout the States)>

2: The silly commies kept parading tanks and missiles around on Mayday.[/colorost_uid0]
