"420" and "other important days" in the same sentence answers your own question. For every one of these 'important' days, a group of lobbyists have worked to get official designation.

Some are seen as fun, some are cultural, some are so narrow to be pointless...all of them are pretty much a waste of time.

Happy World Radio Day. For the life of me, I couldn't imagine lasting a single day of picking strawberries on the Richmond farms, without my trusty Sony AM/FM radio. The heat, the boredom, listening to Ching Chong, Ling Long, Ting Tong in a smelly farm vehicle that wouldn't have passed any kind of safety test. 3 ton truck with nailed down benches, no seat belts, or windows. Smelly old ladies who probably never took a bath.......... Listening to CKLG helped me zone out.

A very sad day today. 9-11. I remember how devastating it was for many. We all watched in shock and horror. I don’t care what the reason was behind the attacks, there’s no excuse for what they did. I went to see ground zero years later and it was eerie. Rest In Peace. Namo Amida Butsu. As for those behind the planning and executing the attacks, may Lucifer spare no mercy. 1001 screams for every victim and those who survived and were affected by it. And please, don’t tell us about how millions died in other places and situations, blah, blah, blah. Today is the day we mourn those who perished and those who fought tirelessly to find missing persons on this day 20 years ago.

Agreed, I love Picard

I was really loving Discovery for a long time too... but suddenly the characters and storyline just got so forced into virtue signaling I got tired of it... should go back and give it another chance to see if it got smoother.

I mean, Star Trek has always been about advancing social issues, many examples of that... but I think the older shows had way slicker writing that made it more natural somehow.

[MG1]

Q and Guinan.......... yuck. Now they're bringing back Wesley Crusher. Nuff said.

[68style]

Wesley's cameo was kinda lame, basically advertising for a spinoff I think... addressing a storyline from ST:NG that was never completed

Q and Guinan were great... young Guinan was fire... at first Q annoyed me but in the end it turned out to culminate in a very sweet and touching moment.

I'm a bit thrown off by the woke label though? I can understand that for Discovery for sure... but Picard? Hmm... I mean, anyone not wanting spoilers stop reading now, but they even went so far as to show why the dirtier nature of "current day" earth might appeal more to some people when Rios decided to stay behind, etc.

Maybe I don't look deep enough into some of the messaging lol...

[MG1]

It's Friday the 13th.............

Western superstition.

According to folklore historian Donald Dossey, the unlucky nature of the number "13" originated with a Norse myth about 12 gods having a dinner party in Valhalla. The trickster god Loki, who was not invited, arrived as the 13th guest, and arranged for Höðr to shoot Balder with a mistletoe-tipped arrow. Dossey: "Balder died, and the whole Earth got dark. The whole Earth mourned. It was a bad, unlucky day." This major event in Norse mythology caused the number 13 to be considered unlucky.

The superstition seems to relate to various things, like the story of Jesus' last supper and crucifixion in which there were 13 individuals present in the Upper Room on the 13th of Nisan Maundy Thursday, the night before his death on Good Friday

Friday, the 13th has always been a good day for me. Off to the casinos, I go. Gulolol.

It's Friday the 13th.............

Western superstition.
I always thought Friday the 13th was considered unlucky or a doomed day because it was Friday 13 October 1307 when King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V turned on the Knights Templar and ordered them all arrested for false crimes. The Templar's properties and assets including all foreign holdings (Templar's were considered the first "international bank") were stolen by the King. Most Knights ended up being tortured, dismembered, executed and/or burned at the stake.

Great day for a machete rampage IMO

If the Europeans didn't have a want or need to find new lands, riches, whathaveyou, we wouldn't be where we are today. With the bad comes the good and vice versa......... If only the way we treat each other can keep up with technologies and expansion, it'd be good. With Putin, social media, dictatorship, greedy and power hungry nut jobs, religious extremists, etcetera, we are not doing well. Evil doers using technology to do their bidding. I'm not as optimistic as Gene Roddenberry. But, can't give up. Learn from the past and make this world a better place. We can forget about Victoria Day and call it something else, if that's a step in the right direction?

[68style]

If Europeans hadn't come here and taken over, someone else would have.

People are living in a pretend land if they think otherwise. That said, it would be nice to carve out a real Canadian identity... rather than this weird mishmash homage to a royal family that has nothing to do with us anymore except to smugly say they decided to let us be our own thing.

[punkwax]

I’d rather be associated with the royal family than our neighbours to the south though. Canada is a great place to live, especially BC. Perhaps it wouldn’t be that way if things were different.

we could have easily become part of the US of A. British North America (prior to Dominion of Canada) stretched down into Oregon. Lot's of history between France, Spain, Britain, Americans, and Russia.

9/11


I remember waking up and watching it unfold. Had to go to work..................... just didn't make sense at all, at the time. Going through every emotion imaginable on the drive to work. I was worried about the safety of my family........... not much info as to who, what, where, when, and why.



I don't believe the people behind the attacks came out right away. If they did, I'm not sure how the world would have reacted. Can't attack any one nation if it was a terrorist attack by a group not associated with a particular country. If you were a Muslim/Islamic, your life changed forever. Extremists and Jihadists, nuff said. I think through education and awareness, people have slowly................ no need to get into it.

50 years ago today, Paul Henderson scored the winning goal in the Series of the Century. Our boys beat the godless commies. "It's our game," could be heard everywhere. Da, Da, Canada. Nyet, nyet, soviet! lol.

I was at school watching the game (in my senior year). Classes were on hold. It was a huge deal back in those days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMf2fAXPS1Q

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lXDMA_bZZw

Russia played dirty. Kicking our players with their skates. Replacing refs with their own hand picked ones. Three penalties to start the game. Alan Eagleson having to be escorted to the Canadian bench. All happened in game 6 which was held in russia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueV_0iJV9-Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j04_6WxB138


I recall our fans heckling Team Canada in Vancouver. The russians won the game and the Canadian players couldn't wait to get the hell out of dodge and the country. It was pretty sad.

To the people across Canada, we tried, we gave it our best, and to the people that boo us, geez, I'm really, all of us guys are really disheartened and we're disillusioned, and we're disappointed at some of the people. We cannot believe the bad press we've got, the booing we've gotten in our own buildings. If the Russians boo their players, the fans ... Russians boo their players ... Some of the Canadian fans—I'm not saying all of them, some of them booed us, then I'll come back and I'll apologize to each one of the Canadians, but I don't think they will. I'm really, really ... I'm really disappointed. I am completely disappointed. I cannot believe it. Some of our guys are really, really down in the dumps, we know, we're trying like hell. I mean, we're doing the best we can, and they got a good team, and let's face facts. But it doesn't mean that we're not giving it our 150%, because we certainly are. I mean, the more – everyone of us guys, 35 guys that came out and played for Team Canada. We did it because we love our country, and not for any other reason, no other reason. They can throw the money, uh, for the pension fund out the window. They can throw anything they want out the window. We came because we love Canada. And even though we play in the United States, and we earn money in the United States, Canada is still our home, and that's the only reason we come. And I don't think it's fair that we should be booed.

What was valentines day for?

[MG1]

A day to honour women who have fought for equality. That's the way I see it. Throughout history men have gone out of their way to suppress women.

Those cowardly Muslim extremists, for example. Spraying women's faces with acid, poisoning girls who have the courage to attend school, etc. It's sickening. These are our mothers, sisters, and daughters, ffs. Women throughout history have made a huge difference. Mothers who make sacrifices - encouraging their children and working tirelessly.

Men who try to control women are the worst of cowards. To them, women have no place in society. FUCK THEM, I say.

BTW, the Muslim faith is tainted by these fucking moron, extremists. There are extremists in all faiths. Just saiyan.

Today is also a day to encourage and support women to find success. Equal pay for equal work............ I can go on and on. I have a daughter who is quite independent. My wife saw to it that she received every opportunity to succeed. This is not Valentines Day, btw.


So many examples of great women........... in all walks of life. Artists, musicians, scientists, innovators, leaders, etc.

No time for ironing that shit, lol. That's not their job, hee hee.

Can you imagine if women were not oppressed back in the day? Men should be worried............. Women may not have the physical strength, but they have spirit, endurance, stamina, and just as much mental and artistic abilities.

Men who try to control women are fearful of losing their control over them. So sad. So very, very sad. Keep them barefoot and pregnant.

ON the other hand, there must be balance. So many jobs are being offered to women who don't even qualify. "Look what we did? We hired X amount of women in our company over the last five years." Fullshit. Now you're overcompensating. People should be hired for their abilities, not their gender.


As for the feminists............ geez, ladies, you're not helping your cause by doing some of that stupid shit. Protest, okay, but don't destroy what true heroines have done to pave a path............... nuff said.

This day back in 1992, the Blue Jays won its first of back to back World Series Championships. Cito Gaston became the first African American to manage a team to not one, but two World Series Championships, as well as, two Pennant Titles. Amazing feat.
