I can't even access google.com, I just get 302'd to .co.uk

Try this

This is in reference to Google.ca, Google.com doesn't seem to pat
tribute to MLK today.

You are quite right. I have just checked and I wonder why that is.

Huh?

I distinctly saw a grey line-drawing of MLK Jr. and wo children and the
words " have a dream..." at regular goodle (.com, not .ca).

That's reasonable of Google. 99.9% of people outside the US have never
heard of Martin Luther King Day. It got mentioned in the UK financial
news as the reason for the NY exchange being closed for the day.
