A. Thanksgiving - American. Pilgrim Fathers give
thanks for not starving to death after their first devastating winter of 1620 and for the help received from the 91 indigenous Indians, a friendship and trust later shown to be a bit misplaced.
[color=redB. Thanksgiving - Canadian. A harvest festival to give thanks for the bountiful crops et al safely gathered-in for winter sustinence. Based on events of 1578 with Martin Frobisher and so a whole 42 years before the "Americans" invented it. [/color]
Please note the difference.
