    …and of course, as not everyone out there knows, Victoria Day is a national holiday in McClelland’s native Canada, colloquially known as ‘May 2-4 Weekend’, celebrated on the Monday before or on May 24th, in honour of Queen Victoria, during whose reign the country’s nationhood was granted. (Oddly, Britain has no day of celebration for this queen.) Can’t wait for the album.
