Wishing all my American Brothers and Sisters a wonderful weekend and hope that your Thanksgiving will be just as awesome!

Is there such a thing????

haha

I dont even know what thanksgiving music is

but I bet its rock n roll

The Canadians in this thread are sellouts. Take a damn stand and celebrate Thanksgiving when we celebrate it. Late November is the proper time for it, since it kicks off the holiday season. Right now is pre-Halloween and the heart of fall. Turkeys should not be eaten right now. Feasts should not be had right now. Wake the fuck up and stand as one with the United States for once.

How could anyone think that an October Thanksgiving is actually legit? Is it due to mind control from the British government?

I thought I would share this with you, so you may have an idea as to why we may celebrate it on a different date.. This is a clip from City News..

We celebrate Christmas and New Year’s on the same day. Our Labour Day’s the same, too. And even our birthdays are extremely close – July 1st and July 4th. So why does Canada celebrate Thanksgiving so far ahead of the U.S.?

The common wisdom seems to be that because we’re so much farther north, our harvest days arrive earlier, and so we give thanks a lot sooner – although it’s hard to be grateful for an earlier winter.

Whatever the truth, there’s one fact history can’t deny – Canada has been celebrating the holiday a lot longer than our southern neighbours.

Thanksgiving in Canada actually goes back to 1578 in Newfoundland, when explorer Martin Frobisher held a ceremony of gratitude for surviving the journey from Europe.

Americans, led by the Puritans and the Mayflower, didn’t begin their annual tradition until 1621 – 43 years later.

But the first official Canuck day of thanks actually started in – of all months – April of 1872, as a grateful nation celebrated the recovery of King Edward VII from an illness.

Our next turkey time came seven years later, and this time it was in November! It stayed that way until 1899, when it moved to a Thursday in October. And talk about an unstable holiday.

In 1901 and 1904, it was on a Thursday in November.

Between 1908 and 1921, it was moved to a Monday in October.

And from 1922 to 1930, it was actually celebrated on what is now Remembrance Day – November 11th!

In fact, Canada didn’t actually settle on a true Thanksgiving Day until 1957, when Parliament finally fixed the date as the second Monday in October, where it remains now, giving us the final long weekend of the season.

Now that’s something to truly be thankful for.

LOVE YOU TOO!

it's good enough for canadian thanksgiving music.
it'll have to do haha

Why do you care when Canadians do what they do and when? I moved up here and left American holiday dates behind. The timing of Thanksgiving depends on when harvest ends. You are farther south, so you have a later growing season.

I understand the American mentality; they have a difficult time fathoming the fact that people in other countries live differently from Americans. There is a world beyond your borders.

Happy Thanksgiving this weekend to the Canadians on here.

Happy Thanksgiving
"Oh eh.. more maple syrup on my turkey..eh. Oh eh honey.. some of your arm pit hair is in my mash potatoes eh.. hand me some pop eh..."

Isn't Thanksgiving a sham?

im not sure how many people will agree with this dude or not .,?

he has some things to say for any people who may be visiting canada

I have always liked the timing of Thanksgiving in Canada -- a break between the end of summer and the beginning of Christmas holidays. The beginning of October is one of the most beautiful times to go hiking and see the foliage. It is still warm enough to sit outside and enjoy a beer, but cool enough to enjoy a big turkey dinner.

American Thanksgiving always seems to fall too close to Christmas IMO. The weather may be ok in the southern states, but by mid-november in the northern states it's getting close to winter.

Turkey turkey turkey!

Toronto cops busted 12 million cocaine. Ring. Looks like turkey gonna have no stuffing this year

Damn...wish I was Canadian right now!
