   short for toboggan hat… but the mental image to Canadians is wearing a wooden toboggan on your heat. A quaint national hero was Mr. Canoe Head, who when portaging his aluminum canoe, got struck my lightning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnhCghc4wHU

   It’s called Management by Objectives. Employees are to come up with their goals in writing. Management typically mismanages things for the year. Employees who miss their goals and lined up and a portion of them are fired. MBO is and was the terror of corporate America. It really meant that management has no idea how to manage. And it means that goal setting by employees was often underestimated.

   Canadians and Brits (and I suppose other commonwealth) use the words holiday or holidays not only for official days off (like Canada Day, Victoria Day) but also in place of the word vacation. (They often reserve the word “vacation” for use only when it involves a trip); When I moved from Canada to the US, the words “summer holidays” disappeared and everyone used “summer vacation.”

   And of course, “holiday”, like “hospital” often had no article in from. {"Lynn’s in hospital" and “Where did Mike go on holiday”)
