TTMA Canadian Thanksgiving

talkthewholetime

....what exactly are Canadians thankful for? I mean, here in 'Merica it's all bald eagles and freedom and we beat the Indians and learned how to grow corn.

What's yours all about?

4th of July > Year Long Maternity Leave

and dont' get me started on their socialist/communist/liberal healthcare system.

But do they have a Black Friday?

I don't get why you Americans always have to target other races. I mean really? Come on! Black Friday? I guess it's cause us Canadians are so nice and inclusive, we don't really want to single out one group of individuals for a whole freaking day.

I'm always thankful when the coffee is made.

...that we're not 'Merica (yet)!



In all seriousness though, no effing clue, we just give thanks for good reasons. It's kinda our thing...being grateful for blessings (like poutine and tidbits and ketchup chips).


ETA: cause it's too early and the coffee is not made yet

We have ketchup chips.

And disco fries > poutine

I give thanks to Keurig, Patron Saint of Tired Mothers, every morning.

Canadians are very thankful and kind. I've never met a Canadian I didn't like, well, besides the Biebs (I didn't actually meet him).

There are more non-French Canadians. We're better.

I think it's pretty much the same as American thanksgiving, thanking the Native Canadians for the harvest and whatnot.

Also, disco fries? They are an inferior rip-off of poutine. Cheese curds 4 lyfe!

Most Canadians disown Shania, Celine and Nickleback. We're not all rainbows and love thy neighbour.

But not the Biebs?

If we ignore it, it doesn't exist...

Oh yes, thanks for reminding me. I did gain valuable life lessons from Spike and Snake.

And also thanks for Drake. Curse you Canadians!

WTF is a ketchup chip?

A ketchup flavoured potato chip. I think all-dressed and dill pickle might be Canadian flavours too.

You can get dill pickle some places around here, but I'm not terribly far from Canada.

All Dressed chips are the best! I love All Dressed Crispers.

Thank you, Canada, for being my father's final resting place. Sniff

Dropping a hint as to your identity, I see. Hmm...
