I've always kind of secretly hoped that Canadians call their Thanksgiving "Canadian Thanksgiving." As in, when they sit down to celebrate, they start by saying something like, "As we gather here for Canadian Thanksgiving ... ." Your post implies that's not true and I'm a little disappointed.
Just kidding. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. The Canadians in my life are some of my favorite people.

In Canada we refer to it as "Thanksgiving".
Also, it more or less marks the start of curling season.
October 13th, 2014 at 7:10 AM ^
anything like in China where they just call it "food?"
October 13th, 2014 at 8:22 AM ^
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Pull up a seat on the chesterfield and watch curling to your hearts' content.

I'll give thanks that we have the kindly, vowel butchering Canucks to our northern border than say, Pakistan or Syria or North Korea.

We used to celebrate both when I was little - we would go visit my relatives in the Toronto area for Thanksgiving, and about a month later, they would come and visit us for our version of it. The upside of this is that in the span of about 5 week or so you can get two turkey-induced comas, so it isn't at all a bad experience.
Indeed, we ran into Thanksgiving in Toronto as people would, without prompting, say to us "Happy Thanksgiving!". We responded in kind, of course. I will say - the fact that this originates from Martin Forbisher's not dying as a result of trying to find the Northwest Passage makes this very...interesting.
In any case, Happy Thanksgiving to the MGoCanada folks, and thank you for allowing my wife and I to get buzzed in the wonderful Harbourfront district in Toronto this weekend.

or Killarneys. Dang, I can't remember the name of the bottom of the barrel Windsor strip club that had no cover in the late 80s/early 90s.
October 13th, 2014 at 10:47 AM ^
Was it called "The Landing Strip?
October 13th, 2014 at 6:19 PM ^
Although I never went to it, there was a "Landing Strip" on the US side somewhere near Metro airport.

It so happens that I live about five minutes from it here in Romulus. It is at the corner of Goddard & Shook in what there is of a downtown Romulus. It's right across from a grocery store and near a bank and a pharmacy, so it sort of becomes one-stop shopping in a way. It was closed for a while last year, I think, after a bust, however it is a historic building (the old Romulus train depot) and our heritage must continue.

But it was changed a few decades ago because someone (politicians, probably) thought it was too close to Christmas.
I was watching CBC's The National (news) last night and they talked about the history of Thanksgiving in Canada.
October 13th, 2014 at 12:35 PM ^
Dang, you all have like a really long Christmas shopping season, eh?
Happy Thanksgiving.
October 13th, 2014 at 3:00 PM ^
They both pretty much start on July 5.
