	Victoria Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From 1953 Empire Day was made the date of the Queen's official birthday in Canada by annual Vice-regal proclamation, the link being made permanent in 1957.
		In 1977 Commonwealth Day was moved to the second Monday in March, but Canadians continued to celebrate Victoria Day in May. In Canada, this holiday and Canada Day are celebrated with fireworks, though Victoria Day is a decidedly lower-key event.
		Monarchist groups often use Victoria Day as a day of celebration, but to the majority of Canadians the day is simply a holiday off from work, with little specific meaning.

		While Empire Day’s self released CD may not have the power to put some much needed blood back into techno pop it is a step in the right direction.
		I can easily image Empire Day becoming a hit at Chicago dance clubs like Berlin, the old 950, and Exit where the crowd has to be burned out on dancing to the same Depeche Mode and Cure songs they have been hearing since they were in junior high.
		There is a simple reason that those kids still listen to songs from that era – they were good and few bands since have been able to capture that delicate balance of youthful angst and pop-rock optimism.

		Empire aspires to the same scale of grand political philosophy as Locke or Marx or Fukuyama, but whether Hardt and Negri accomplish this daunting task is debatable.
		If the consequences of EMPIRE are better living standards globally for billions, I think most readers (and workers of the world) would vote for EMPIRE over the decentralized revolution for which our naive communist writers call.
		They did argue that the tendancy was for capitalism to reorganize itself into Empire-a dectralized globalized capitalist network that would diminish borders in such a way as to allow the smooth flow of capital globally.

		Because we here in the Empire do not seek the power to write laws, or to carry a badge and gun, or to be responsible for the spiritual health of a flock of millions.

		The Queen who is head of the Commonwealth led celebrations of Empire Day for years after much of it was gone.

		The theme for this year's Commonwealth Day, celebrated always on the second Monday of March, is "building a Commonwealth of freedom." Freedom, eminently, was not what the Empire was about.
