In Canada, Thanksgiving is always the second Monday of October.
I find that odd because the United States and Canada celebrate almost all holidays the same except Thanks Giving like; Christmas, Halloween, Valentines day, etc.
So why is it a different day when it comes to Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is an American holiday the other three have to do with religion
Christmas: the birth of Christ Halloween: aka All hallows Eve (night before All Saints Day) is to commemorate the passing of the dead and celebrated by wearing costumes. The candy was just a modern ad-on Valentines Day: celebrated in honor of St. Valentine
That's why holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and Valentines Day are celebrated by a lot of countries, they are all religious holidays.
different countries are different and celebrate some holidays differently, kinda like there are different languages.
Thanksgiving is the American holiday, Canada wanted a day of fun too so followed shortly after :)
probably because they landed on plymith rock... in the USA.
