...why Fairfax dropped 3% in the past hour? Granted that this is not an obscene move, but it is out of the ordinary given the past few years,

especially considering that the market is down and FFH has tended to show inverse correlation to the market.

The record date is Jan 21 not 22.

From the press release:

Investopedia explains 'Ex-Date'

 

 

This is the date on which the seller, and not the buyer, of a stock will be entitled to a recently announced dividend. The ex-date is usually two business days before the record date. It is indicated in newspaper listings with an x.

Apparently, its already gone ex here in the USA.

 

Schwab would not let me trade it online today except through their global brokerage. Reason given was that due to Martin Luther day on Monday, 2 business days would be today and friday. So it went ex-today here in the USA.
