In Canada we have this thing called Victoria Day where we celebrate the birthday of thy original “diamond princess,” Queen Victoria. And while in recent years it's devolved into a glorified Monday where deviant children shoot fireworks and commoners line by the beach side to watch them, we've created a playlist for those of you who want to drown out the noise and have a regal long weekend. Featuring Canadian heroines like Shania Twain, Bif Naked, and Celine Dion as well as Beyonce, Charli XCX, Florence + the Machine, each track embellishes the finer points of this splendid holiday.
