Is July the worst month for business?

[viper37]

1st of July.  Canada day.  All government offices and major suppliers are closed.  most people will also take the Friday or Monday off.  Can't reach anyone important during this week.
4th of July.  America day.  All US suppliers are closed, everything in transit gets delayed a week.  Every american office in Canada seems also closed.
Last 2 weeks: construction holiday. Also called Hell on wheels as there's tons of tourists flocking through the highways, with an increase in police surveillance.  Can't drive.  Most major suppliers are closed, those that are not function at 25% efficiency.
All along the month, lots of people take their annual vacations, 3-4 weeks.  Can't get to see any specialist at the hospital, most of them are away, most nurses are either on vacation or suddenly sick.
Government offices also work at reduced efficiency, as if there was any to lose.

It's a hellish month.  At least in december, there's snow on the ground to do something, or an excuse to do nothing.

See, if you guys would have supported us in 1775, you'd only have one these bad business days.

[Ed Anger]

I gave Thursday and Friday off for my peeps also. Let 'em have a 5 day weekend.

Over here, the worst months for business seem to be May (lots of holidays), August (everybody on summer vacation) and December (Christmas break).

[Grey Fox]

Yes but August isn't much better.

It's a good time for business if your business is one that deals with travel/tourism.

Other than that, I think that it would be a bad time for business anyway.  People have already bought their spring/summer merchandies--clothes, cook-out equipment, lawn care products, etc., and aren't ready to buy fall/winter stuff yet.

They were also given a second chance in 1812 and failed to help themselves yet again.

It seems to have worked out much better for us than it did for you.

Yeah, when did you guys become independent?  1982?

[Drakken]

1931.

[Phillip V]

1931.

[Drakken]

1931.

For foreign affairs, I must add.

For domestic affairs we were de facto independent at least since Responsible Government in 1848, because the Governor's cronies holding Executive power needed the confidence of local Parliament with the Act of Union 1848, which brought Ministerial Responsability.

That was the only good thing the Durham Report brought to us.

If you so much as lift a finger to do "work" in July or August, you are at least ahead of most Europeans.

You could say 1848, 1867 or 1931.  No matter which you choose, it's worked out a lot better than your rebellion.

Well, that would hold true for January-June and September-December as well.
