....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?

    ...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

    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?

    Hockey and Degrassi, hello!

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

    And also thanks for Drake. Curse you Canadians!

    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.
