Welcome to the Carnival of Personal Finance #315 where we will be celebrating that in Canada and the U.S. at this time of year there are many long weekends, specifically: Saint-Jean Baptiste Day (in Quebec), Canada Day (in all of Canada) and of course the 4th of July in the U.S.. What a wonderful time and this year is especially great because all of these holidays fall on a Friday or Monday so bring on the long weekends!!!
