Canada's done it
There's only five true public holidays applied throughout the whole of Canada
Quebec has their National holiday but no civic holiday. Only four provinces out of ten (two of those only for government employees), the territories and jobs under federal jurisdiction have the truth and remembrance day.
Even counting all of them there's a big hole after the new year and the next one is... Good Friday which is 100% religious...
But at the federal level that's 12 holidays that could be separated to get rid of religious holidays and to give everyone one long weekend every month!
I guess I'm luckier than I realized. Thanks for the detailed info.
