The Canucks already celebrated. Second Monday in October. Our harvest is earlier so we say thanks earlier. We started the tradition 43 years before you Yanks. Englishman, Martin Frobisher was looking for a Northern way to the Orient in 1578 but didn't make it. He established a settlement in Newfoundland and declared a day of thanks for a safe journey despite not finding a route. Not as big a deal here as it is down south though.
