It’s Victoria Day here in Canada

A National Holiday

So…. mercifully your miserable Canadian Listed Gold Miners have a day off .

How strange is it that we still celebrate Queen Victoria’s Birthday ( May 24 1819 ) 200 years later !

In a Country that wasn’t even born until over 50 years past Victoria’s birthday and a Country with no remaining ties with Great Britain.

She certainly was quite an amazing character though.

Became Queen at age 18

Married her first cousin and had 9 children. Hmmm

Passed on the gene for hemophilia to her children and grandchildren.

Survived numerous assassination attempts.

reigned for 63 years
