    Why is there a Thanksgiving in Canada? Canadians thanking God that America is their neighbor?

    Looks like a Canadian can't even answer the question. Hope that national healthcare plan covers brain transplants as well

    Did the Canadiens get their land by screwing over the Indians as well? How does a Canadien go about celebrating Thanksgiving?

    OK fine let's give you a history lesson

    In Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Unlike the American tradition of remembering Pilgrims and settling in the New World, Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest. The harvest season falls earlier in Canada compared to the United States due to the simple fact that Canada is further north.

    The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an English explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. He did not succeed but he did establish a settlement in Northern America. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now called Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving. Other settlers arrived and continued these ceremonies. He was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him - Frobisher Bay.


    On January 31, 1957, the Canadian Parliament proclaimed

    "A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed ... to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October."

    No brain transplant required.

    Thank you; in the future when I never move to Canada and never visit, I will keep this information handy. Have a nice holiday.

    BatemanPatrickl,
    You are giving the rest of us a bad rep. Please act with a little more class and not as an ass. Happy Thanksgiving Canada. Sorry for the jerk off comments from BatemanPatrickl.

    I have the right to state my opinion on any country I want. If you notice, I did not "diss" Canada at first. Action, reaction...simple as that...
