Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

I meant to start this thread earlier, but I didn't get a chance. Hope our friends to the North are enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Any Canadians want to fill me in on its significance? Is it in celebration of a specific event or just to give thanks in general?

Canadian Thanksgiving is similiar to American Thanksgiving; we have it earlier because our colder weather causes our harvest to come in earlier.

Thanksgiving originated when the Native Indians showed the Early Pilgrims how to grow corns, squash, and other North American vegetables by providing them with seeds and techniques. Also how to capture and raise turkeys. In return, the Pilgrims prepared a feast after the first harvest to thank the Natives and to thank God for the bountiful harvest.

Thanks :up I was wondering if it was basically the same thing or not. Seems like it is pretty similar.
