If I hadn't been up there for it, I'd never have known that Canada had Thanksgiving, let alone that it was in October.
Guess it makes sense to have it early, gets colder sooner up there, thus an earlier harvest :-)
Got my aunt over the holidays - we were calling my parents(currently residing in Mexico) and talking about how my dad did not have the day off because it wasn't Thanksgiving. She said "that's right, they don't have a 4th of July either", to which I replied "Sure they do". She looked rather puzzled until I followed up with "it's right after the 3rd of July".
