Yes, this holiday has a name, and no, this is not the holiday celebrating the innovative sub-compact import sedan, indeed far from it, this Monday coming is the day we are all to remember famous backpacker John Graves Simcoe by doing the obvious thing:

And true, there should be a holiday to commemorate the lt-colonel JG even if only because he was the first legislator in the modern world with the political guts to outlaw slavery but all that considered, if you ask me, we should take a grassroots initiative here to rebrand Simcoe Day to honour spunky master-camper Lady Elizabeth Simcoe, not only the first Euro-aristocrat's wife to voluntarily winter in old Fort York, but in a tent ... with her cat ... and then blog about it. Now that is real Canadian.
