Where did you find this list?  Either they didn't check their facts, or it 
is taken from a previous year.  The first day of Passover is on April 23. 
2005 is one of the rare years when Passover and Easter do not coincide, 
because of the leap month in the Jewish calendar.

April 18, 1982 is the day Canada's Constitution was "patriated" (i.e. the 
power of amendment no longer held by the British parliament, as it had been 
under the 1867 British North America Act) and proclaimed in effect by the 
late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.  But to my knowledge, this day has 
_never_ been celebrated as such in Canada.  I don't even remember any 
special observances in 2002 to mark the 20th anniversary of the 
Constitution, although there were commemorative coin and stamps issued.
