A poster on another thread cited Paschales Solemnitatis in saying that during the Triduum, the first two days are for fasting.

The poster stated:
Our Paschal fasting and penance should last until the Easter Vigil, however, at the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, it is the beginning of the Easter Triduum.
Does the fast we undertake for Good Friday end at the beginning of the Easter Vigil, during the Mass, or at the end? I will not be attending the Saturday night Vigil, so it would be useful to know.

Also, since it is relevant to fasting during the Triduum, are the things I am permitted to eat (1 meal, 2 snacks) doubled (2 meals, 4 snacks) if I fast from Holy Thursday Mass until the Easter Vigil? The only full day I fast is Good Friday, but about 48 hours are accounted for.

Another question I have is whether or not I can still eat meat when Good Friday (midnight-midnight) ends.

I live in Canada if that is important.

I was never aware of the fast beginning on Holy Thursday and ending with the Easter Vigil. If I am misunderstanding this, please let me know.
