Canadian Holiday Calendar is blank past Dec 31, 2020
I recently got a new computer and after downloading Thunderbird, successfully migrated my data so my email and calendar are available to me. I decided to add the Canadian Holidays calendar, by subscribing to the one on the page that Thunderbird Help directed me to, which at first glance seemed to work. Then I noticed that there are no holidays identified past New Year's Eve 2020. All the holidays up to that point seem to be indicated correctly, but nothing exists in this calendar past Dec. 31, 2020. I know 2021 is not off to a good start, but I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if there'd been an announcement that all future holidays had been cancelled. I also tried downloading the calendar and adding it to Thunderbird as a calendar stored on my computer, but that didn't solve the problem. To make sure I'd followed the subscribe to a calendar instructions correctly, I subscribed to the USA holiday calendar and it works as expected. Sadly, Canadian holidays are not identical to the US ones, so it's only a passable workaround.
Can anyone suggest a fix?

Thanks, but it didn't work. When I tried to subscribe to the link above, I got the pop up saying I was already subscribed to it. (Since the only Canadian holiday calendar I had subscribed to was the one on the Thunderbird resource page, that must be the same source that page uses. So I unsubscribed the old version and re-subscribed using the link you provided, and again, the calendar is completely empty past Dec 31 2020.
FWIW: When I clicked on that link to see where it led me, the page has this message:"No Events Found Event dates will be available once CANADA HOLIDAYS announced" That seems a bit odd to me, as Canadian holidays don't need to be announced. Most of them occur on the same date each year, and the floating holidays have rules that allow them to be figured out in advance, such as Thanksgiving being the 2nd Monday in October, or Easter being the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. In theory, a calendar could be filled in now with the dates for current holidays for the next millenium. However, it does explain why the calendar is blank.
