Living in the States, I don't have too much occasion to refer to Canada Day
or Dominion Day, but I still call Nov. 11 "Armistice Day" and May
30 "Decoration Day," because I am against the dilution or changing
holidays, especially considering the significance of those two events (WWI
and the American Civil War).  I'm not much for "President's Day" for the
same reasons...

Don, my calendar says that Nov. 11 in Canada is called Remembrance Day.  Is
it for WWI, for military veterans, or pretty much for anyone that has
passed?
