An interesting question and one the advocates for separation of church and state would surely share. Personally , I love Easter and I value the history and traditions of our country, so I’m for keeping the Holliday. I wouldn’t call it racists tho, as Christianity isn’t a race. & unless you celebrate Jesus resurrection - Easter can be considered a pagan Holliday too. & , it also coincides with Passover & Ramadan , it covers a lot of bases. I say keep it & people can use the days off to do as they will. And , if you choose to open your busines to take advantage of the festive shoppers ...that should be allowed too, but I’d like to see it not compulsory for employees. Employers should have to option to open but workers should have the option of at least one extra day off. That’s my 2 cents.
I call it “racist” because the ‘ left ‘ clarifies everything as “racist” that has any element of discrimination. I am simply pointing out that many public policies are “racist” and that the use of discrimination is the main tactic that politicians and public officials use to divide our citizens and undermine out democracy.
An interesting question. In Kitchener, Ontario, there is a movement to remove a statue of Queen Victoria. I wonder if the supporters and enablers of that movement are willing to give up the paid holiday in May as well?
it seems you ae implying that since Easter (and all Christian holidays, including Sundays?) are 'racist", everyone should have access to all government services every day. That would certainly NOT be less government.
One solution is that government should not provide any 'public' service on any day. That certainly would be "less government."
Maybe should have said Christian holidays are "considered racist." I agree it is wrong. There are 2 ways to remove the bias. The best way is to repeal the Business Holidays act (or at least remove the religious holidays) or to include all religious holidays. Maybe the woke crowd would be happy with the latte solution, until they run out of some critical item during Ramadan.

I am implying no such thing. I am saying that the bias in public policies extends to religion and that is wrong.
