Happy Thanksgiving
This is the first Canadian Thanksgiving for Alex and me. We’re doing the whole turkey-and-absurd-amounts-of-maple-sugar-sweetened-side-dishes traditional meal.
We’ve also invited some friends, who happen to be First People. Alex pointed out that this was very much in the U.S. Pilgrim tradition — the newcomers inviting the Native Americans to break bread. (Of course, if we really followed the U.S. tradition, we’d have to kill them and steal their land afterwards.)
Happy turkey day, all.

Oh and the British and the French didn’t kill and plunder and try to convert the native “Canadians” eh.
What a load of crap. Those great Europeans where most of the original settlers of North America came from were savages.
What hypocrisy!
Well, I’m an immigrant and don’t know the history of Canadian Thanksgiving yet (I’m still trying to figure out what the Governor General does), so I can’t really comment.
Oh. I guess I should have made clear that I’m an American living in Montreal, not a Canadian trying to diss the U.S. while claiming Canada is utopia.
