Nobody Planned This Wednesday Holiday. Now Nobody's Working

Nobody Planned This Wednesday Holiday. Now Nobody's Working

Canada Day landed on a Wednesday and somehow half the country took the whole week off. Shane and Ryan are both at their desks, mildly annoyed, and very much in the mood to talk about summer grievances.

The conversation starts with how far in advance you actually need to plan a long weekend, moves into the sounds of summer in a small town and downtown Calgary, and lands firmly on pedal pubs. Ryan has thoughts. Strong ones. Shane isn't sure pedal pubs are the problem so much as context, but agrees the mid-intersection group sing-along version of Mr. Brightside is a legitimate public menace.

Also: Christmas in July starts now, summer is the right time to test your Christmas lights, and we are officially one week past halfway to Christmas. You're welcome.

Topics: Canada Day long weekend, vacation planning, pedal pubs Calgary, summer noise, Christmas in July
