    Today is Monday. Today is not a weekend. Tonight will be a weeknight.

    Years ago, Going as far as late eighties to early to mid nineties holidays use to count as unlimited weekend calling. The reason I know this because we have had cell phones in the family going back to 86 or 87. I remember taking full advantage of it. This all changed when the digital phones started coming out around 93 94.

    I know Telus used to treat holidays and your birthday as unlimited air time periods. Don't know if they still do.

    Today is not a holiday. Today is July 2. July 2 is not a holiday. Even though government and many stores are closed today because Canada Day fell on a Sunday, WorldIRC is correct - today is Monday. Not a holiday. NOW - had July 1 fell on a Monday, then your weekend runs longer.

    So somewhere, the rules changed...? You only get free holidays when they are on the weekend? :-) That sucks. But anyway, I don't really care because I never ever ever ever come anywhere near my number of minutes.

    Actually, when July 1 is Sunday, July 2 becomes Canada Day:

    (2) When July 1 is a Sunday, July 2 is a legal holiday and shall be kept and observed as such throughout Canada under the name of "Canada Day".
