Excuse to eat like a pig day.

Sorry for all you Canadian viewers. You get no turkey.

We had turkey last month.

Stay safe tomorrow. I'd hate to find out one of you guys got trampled to death running for a blu-ray player.

Good thing I got my blu ray players years ago, now if only I could activate the gaming portion of it.

But yeah Happy Thanksgiving!

The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an explorer, Martin Frobisher... In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony in Newfoundland to give thanks for surviving the long journey. The feast was one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations by Europeans in North America. Frobisher was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him — Frobisher Bay.

At the same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, in 1604 onwards also held huge feasts of thanks.

Quote:

The modern Thanksgiving holiday traces its origins from a 1621 celebration at the Plymouth Plantation, where the Plymouth settlers held a harvest feast after a successful growing season.
It appears you're between 43 and 17 years after ours.
Get your own holiday. :ohreilly:

You see, it doesn't matter, because its Canadian, and no one but Canadians care about anything Canadian. You still haven't figured this out yet?

We enjoyed our internationally understood real Thanksgiving of eating turkey and remembering the subjugation of native peoples, and you did whatever it is you backward people do, like brewing beer, playing hockey and/or fighting, and calling ham bacon.

False, it matters because it's undeniable proof and fact that ours was first.
I wouldn't expect any type of humility from an American, though.

The Vikings discovered the Americas, yet the poem goes: "In the year 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" and not "Some Vikings showed up years earlier."

If a tree falls in the woods, does anyone hear it?

If a holiday is created in Canada, does anyone but Canadians recognize it?



Enjoy our 51st state while you can, and take good care of our trees. :D

By the way, you do know I was poking fun at America in my own post, correct? Playing the role of "the ugly American" is fun, especially with you since you are so nationalistic, but a little patriotism never hurt.

That is one thing I noticed when I briefly lived in Canada and visited Ireland. For all the posturing about how fat America is, there are PLENTY of fat bastards all over the world. America, as usual, is just ahead of the curve.

Whether its stealth bombers of KFC's Double Down, America is the world leader. :lol:

Despite the fact I posted that video jokingly, overweight is such a loose term. Technically, bodybuilders are overweight. Overweight is determined by BMI, which is a joke of a system. While obesity is also determined by that scale, it's not as loose of a term as "overweight" is.

Obesity is where the stats are at. 30% of Americans are obese. 14% of Canadians are obese. The USA ranks 1, Canada ranks 11.

While this is true - he's gay. So more than half of your country doesn't accept him, anyways. Harsh reality of the south.

Also, Canada is #3 for McDonald's and rape? Clearly there has to be some type of connection. :ohreilly:

The 11th fattest country in the world is still fat, and if we're going to be fat, don't we want to be the best at being fat? Here's the secret... we take traditional comfort food or otherwise healthy food, and either deep dry it or sandwichify it.

The "Gobbler"



Fried Mac n' Cheese



Fried Pickles



Or... we fuse unhealthy foods to create mutant death food. Behold...

THE BACON CHEESEBURGER FATTY MELT... instead of a bun... GRILLED BACON AND CHEESE

Over half of adults living in the European Union countries are now overweight or obese according to a report.

The rate of obesity has more than doubled over the past 20 years in most EU member states, international experts say.

The UK comes out worst, shortly followed by Ireland and Malta, where a quarter of the population is obese.
