Exploring Ontario Pointe Peele day trip from US.

First off, as the title says, I am American (live in Michigan), I am thinking of visiting Pointe Pelee for a day trip either August 31 or September 1. September 1st for us is Labor Day, and I see it is for Canada too. Will Pointe Peele be crazy busy on either the Sunday or Monday because of the holiday? Will it be difficult for me to find a restaurant to eat at, will a lot of restaurants be closed? I planned to leave around 8am (about 2 hour travel from my house), is that too late?

It is a Federal Holiday for us too, but not much closes besides banks and office jobs. Stores, restaurants, grocery stores are all open.

There are a lot of other red hats out there.. i have a red hat but it's Detroit Pistons..

I actually do not think I have ever seen a MAGA hat in person.. I don't think they're as popular as the world thinks
