If Canadians are lucky enough to have some Moose they will serve it along side a turkey. If they are really lucky, they will have Elk. YUMMY!!

Then, they will snow shoe home from Grandma's house :D

I just imagine Canadian Thanksgiving being something like:

Back in the old days, Pierre Lon Duette trudged through the Canadian tundra, looking for the East - West passage. In the snowy days of early October, he was set upon by a pack of ravenous saber-toothed yaks. Lon Duette bravely fought them off with nothing more than his bare hands and his snuff tin, killing all by one which limped off into the woods. Giddy with victory and thankful to still be alive, Lon Duette stripped naked, and covered himself in yak blood and drank copious amounts of whiskey. This was the first Canadian Thanksgiving and the tradition of stripping naked and drinking whiskey has remained to this day.

The final toast of Canadian thanksgiving is alway, "Here's to Pierre! The yak slayer who froze to death on that fateful day in early October! We thank him for killing the saber-toothed yaks! May his naked legend inspire us!"

True that Pierre's Yak slaying escapades inspired the first Canadian Thanksgiving. But Big P (as he is known to our neighbors to the north) Big P's tradition of stripping naked and drinking whiskey is only for the DIE HARD (and cold) Canucks. Over the years and many many unforutunate deaths in the october snows... a more Family oriented (and warmer) tradition emerged.
Two different meats are served with any number of side items. Men are served wild Beaver Traditionally that they have hunted themselves. This represents the frontier spirit that made canada what it is today. Woman eat male chickens in a traditional Berry sauce. The chicken is raised at home and the sauce homemade; this represents the Home and family that inspired canadians to push through the wilderness... This is a really a warm, family oriented tradition. ... of course Big P's tradtional Toast that was mentioned earlier has been shortend over time... You can still hear Canadian families toast "To Whiskey And Nakedness" just before they Men are brought Beaver and the women get jelly covered cocks.

Heartwarming... really.

See how traditions just evolve into a good natural flow...

Get naked, drink whiskey, eat beaver and cock.

Man, those Canadians know what it is all about, eh?

Once, I captured one and asked him how he celebrates Thanksgiving, and he said "The same way you do."

Yeah, not worth the two consecutive felony charges.

Canadian Thanksgiving is not the same as US Thanksgiving. The food is similar, but the emphasis is on family, not shopping the next day.

Canadians can't afford to shop, they have to PAY for FREE healthcare.

Don't get me wrong, I miss my family (some of them, anyway), I just don't miss the economy.

America has to do something quickly about their economy or we aren't going to be able to afford excessive shopping either.

I love rich, rich America, but we have to keep it that way. ;-)
