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.

Oh Canada Our home and Native land ... we were first we were first

I thank you kindly Oh Deary Deary You Master R. for the lesson (I told you I wasn't very edumacated! :rollseyes: )

Do be gentle with the pore pore pitiful wee bittie defenceless 's self-esteem (NOT! )
