The Canadian file was used as a starting point, & the U.S. file has the
same entry:

$ fgrep -iR Fool *
calendar.canada:04/01   April Fool's Day
calendar.united-kingdom:04/01   April Fool's Day
calendar.usholiday:04/01        April Fool's Day

The .history file has it as:
Guy Fawkes' Plot, 1605

"Fawkes" was his surname, with the 's' included.
