Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, My Fellow Frostbacks

Posted by on Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 2:06 PM

Yeah, that's right, it's Canadian Thanksgiving, a glorious day on which Canadians come together to celebrate hockey and socialism, punching each other in the face at centre ice and then driving each other to the hospital for free health care, riding around on duct-taped snowmobiles hunting snowturkeys, gathering mapleberries in our toques to distribute to homeless Voyageurs, dancing around in thongs scaring the bejesus out of Buffalonian wingnuts... So, to all you Canucks out there, I wish you Happy Thanksgiving.

And to my American colleagues: I will be taking the rest of the day off to read Al Purdy, listen to Stompin' Tom (see below, you won't regret it), and eat beaver tails.

(Btw, ours is older than yours, suckers.)
