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.

B. 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.

Please note the difference.
