Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!

Off for an afternoon hike to my friends sugar shack, and then an Orphan Thanksgiving dinner for a bunch of us imported folks without family around.

Love holiday Mondays!

What do Canadians eat on Canadian Thanksgiving?


No, it's not a joke. There's no punchline.

Yeah, why would they? Unless Merica lied to me again (not the first time!) I thought the original Thanksgiving was an American holiday representing the feast that the Pilgrims shared in Plymouth with the natives.

Turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy is bliss.

"Long before Europeans settled in North America, festivals of thanks and celebrations of harvest took place in Europe in the month of October. The very first Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Canada when Martin Frobisher, an explorer from England, arrived in Newfoundland in 1578."

Huh! Well I'll be. Good stuff, I am now smartened up! I looked it up and you're totally right- the pilgrim stuff happened in 1621, and the English are credited with bringing the European tradition to N America!

Right on. I bet since we redo english stuff all the time here and claim it as our own we did the same with turkey day. I don't think I'm crazy though, I seriously think I was taught that it was an American holiday. In going to ask my kiddo come November what she is taught at school about it- I bet she says the American pilgrim shit.

oh @GreatwhiteNorth theres pumpkin picking at the fairgrounds on Oct 17th if youre into that kinda thing

i dont think youre off, most people ive spoken to here also didnt think canadians had thanksgiving

i think american education history wise really just kinda does american history and maybe a little european, i dont think they include canadian
where as in canada we do all of north america heavily plus european and than world history is a course you can request in highschool i love history favourite subject,
i also dont think its too far off to say its an american holiday it just happens to also be a canadian one, and since both canadians and americans came from europe , its springs from there
