2. In Canada, They Call It "Yanksgiving"  Because, apparently,
British loyalists lived in Canada once, too. Canadian
Thanksgiving, a tradition celebrated since the end of the
American Revolutionary War, is observed on the second MONDAY in
OCTOBER, presumably so families may enjoy a long weekend before
all the maple syrup freezes over. Our silly Thursday tradition
is nothing more than a "Yanksgiving" pun to them, which isn't so
out of hand considering I just reduced their rich national
heritage to a syrup joke.
