Where are Bob's turkey feathers? Are disgustingly oversized birds deep-fried in delicious, delicious peanut oil even a thing on Canadia Thanksgiving? Or do you guys do something different? Like hockey pucks in maple syrup or something? Or is this the day you guys invented poutine for?

Yes, Canadian Thanksgiving is always the 2nd Monday in October; in the U.S., today is Columbus Day. In that thanksgiving is largely a harvest celebration, it would make sense that the Canadian festivities would occur now. The temperature is dropping and the harvest should be in before the frost hits. As a Canadian living in the U.S., my family celebrates in October and again in November. Some years back, we decided to invite friends to join us in October. The first year, there were 10 people in attendance; by the third year, there were 64. We traditionally provide a turkey and ask others to bring whatever they can. Every year, we have a handful or two of turkey left - regardless of the number of people in attendance. In November, we will travel to West Virginia to provide meals for a community - travel there the night before, cook, prepare plates, clean up, go home. As we have been blessed, so we try to bless others in return.

But, but, but surely you're *entitled* to all you have and there is no obligation on you to society. Oh wait, you're over 30 - as you were.

Canadia
Is that a new spelling for Canada? or is that some other mystical, fantastical locale?

Go on then, give us some examples of it actually happening. (Dont forget, the British empire was not an ideology, not an attempt to spread religion, language or culture, but to make money so your list might be short. :) )

One of the side benfits working for a Canadian company are the extra holidays every year. Even though I'm in the US I get Canadian Thanksgiving and Boxing Day off. And I still get 2 days for US Thanksgiving!

The thing is the US thinks pretty much exactly the same as the UK. So your reply to Nagy wasn't even logical.

Why do yo think our economies are exactly the same, why we have identical tastes in music, food and drink? The US and the UK think pretty much exactly the same.
