I was visiting Dale's site a few moments ago, and his two latest topics have a turkey gif and a Canadian Flag gif, SO THAT"S WHY I ASKED. :)

If so why? Do you get the day off from work? Just curious.

Ours is in October, and today is a day like any other in Canada.

I've heard the English have a Day of Thanksgiving....on the 4th of July :)

being a Mexican American Canadian, I celebrate ALL the holidays....Thanksgiving twice, Cinco de Mayo, 24 holiday, Memorial Day, you name it.

The most frustrating thing about being an American in Canada is that Canadians have no idea about the importance of the multi-day event (preparation, eating, recovering, and shopping). For Canucks, Canadian Thanksgiving is just a blip of a Monday evening.

This year I was in the US and celebrated Turkey day with Brits and Indians...so it wasn't as big of a deal as it usually is.
