It felt "too American" for our normal general knowledge. I didn't know they were Canadian. Removed the question and replaced it with something else.

Why is it unfashionable to wear white after Labor Day? I thought it was Memorial Day, Veterans Day or Easter.

I tried literally every other American holiday that came to my mind before Labor Day.

It's a very antiquated notion by now. The theory was that white is a "summer" color, and that fall and winter called for darker greens, blues, and browns. I think it was mostly just a badge of classism.
