| Thanks... I was just talking to my brother and he said they deep fried a turkey last night at our usual poker game. Would've been nice to have some of that. |

silly canucks,
We all know thanksgiving is the fourth thursday in november. Don't worry, once we root out the rest of the world's evil, we will liberate canada and end the tyranny of october thanksgivings. |

I'm gonna phone my dad Monday night our time, to wish him a Happy Thanksgiving morning ! 
Hmm, I wonder if there's a turkey here on the island...
Ah, heck, we usually have roast duck or cabbage rolls anyways.
(sigh) Fall is here, even with the warm weather. |

| What is the root of Canadian thanksgiving? I should know this seeing how I am Canadian but I don't. The Americans do it because way back in the day the pilgrims forced themselves on the Natives. But why do we have it? |

Yes after America moved it. Your country's first T.G. was when Canada's is. We kept with tradition not the other way around. You can blame expansion to the South and West for your 'new' T.G.

^^^^^
actually, that's not true.
the two celebrations were always held on different dates and with different reasons for the initial, and subsequent celebrations.
BOTH countries moved the date for thanksgiving.
Dec 4, 1619 was the first thanksgiving in america (entirely religious)
| Quote: |
| The first observance of Thanksgiving in America was entirely religious in nature and involved no form of feasting. On December 4, 1619, a group of 38 English settlers arrived at Berkeley Plantation on the James River...a location now known as Charles City, Virginia. |
then in 1621, after the pilgrims arrived, the celebration was moved to Dec 13.
| Quote: |
| The grateful Pilgrims then declared a three-day feast, starting on December 13, 1621, |
http://www.christiananswers.net/q-wall/wal-g007.html
american thanksgiving was not celebrated regularly, or nationaly until prseidential proclamation in 1777. in 1789, November 26 was set.
canadian thanksgiving moved in 1879
| Quote: |
| Eventually in 1879, Parliament declared November 6th a day of Thanksgiving and a national holiday |
http://www.twilightbridge.com/hobbies/festivals/thanksgiving/canada/
many of the traditions associated with canadian thanksgiving were actually brought up from americans who were loyal to england...and settling in canada.
| Quote: |
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.

Hey stalker. Please don't make claims that are way out of wack.

Myth.
Fact
The original feast in 1621 occurred sometime between September 21 and November 11...The event was based on English harvest festivals, which traditionally occurred around the 29th of September.
| Quote: |
(entirely religious)
|
Myth
Fact
On such a religious day, the types of recreational activities that the pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians participated in during the 1621 harvest feast--dancing, singing secular songs, playing games--wouldn't have been allowed. The feast was a secular celebration.
http://www.historychannel.com/exhibits/thanksgiving/thnkmyth.html
This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623...It wasn't until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

October of 1777 marked the first time that all 13 colonies joined in a thanksgiving celebration.
That Mankind is one smart cookie 
After Washington tried to make it a holiday...It was Sarah Josepha Hale, a magazine editor, whose efforts eventually led to what we recognize as Thanksgiving...Hale's obsession became a reality when, in 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a national day of Thanksgiving...Thanksgiving was proclaimed by every president after Lincoln. The date was changed a couple of times
Thanksgiving in Canada is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Observance of the day began in 1879.

err...
you said that the two thanksgivings shared the SAME day until america moved it.
i present 3 websites that say otherwise....and, you say it's a myth?
forgive me for not reading between the lines, but where exactly is YOUR proof that the two countries shared the same day.
i dont have time to search for it.
i don't stalk you, i OWN you.
you are a very entertaining experiment to me. you can call me Pavlov.
anyway, as usual, you start your reply with immature name calling, and as usual you fail to back up your original claim. |

Not quite. I said it was when Canada's is. And then...

Both in October. Seems about right.

I don't know? You're the one who keeps talking about it, you tell us.
BTW history channel is a little better source than whatever (what is there purpose?) those sites were you used. There is a difference between source and good source.
What amazes me is that I just know this stuff. Bam off the top of my head. I didn't even need to look this stuff up (like some people).
So in closing Eye (oh, how was the L.B. meeting on Monday  )
I OWN you.
You are a very entertaining experiment to me. You can call me Pavlov.

"yours was when canada's is" wrong, no matter how you want to manipulate your meaning.
my proof came from THREE websites, but i only cited 2.
"we kept with tradition" wrong again, canada also changed the date.
still waiting for your proof.
your photographic memory must be fizzling out...
ahhh! it must have been that joint you 'maybe' smoked...as you said, pot affects performance.
and...LABOUR BOARD? what are you talkimg about? |
