Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here at Rabble on Mon Oct 11, 2021

I'm very thankful for the many freedoms I have. And I'm especially thankful that I am not one of the stuffed-turkeys that will be consumed tomorrow on Thanksgiving Day.

Back at you North Report.  I'm also grateful you're not a stuffed turkey.  It would probably affect the quality of your posts.

Didn't the American colonials, institute Thanksgiving, believing that their own God, had given New England to them alone after wars and disease had dealt with the natives, later copied, by Canada

I thought there was reason celebrating Thanksgiving was not appreciated by indigenous peoples. I googled and found this:

In 1838, Lower Canada used Thanksgiving to celebrate the end of the Lower Canada Rebellion. Following the rebellions, the two Canadas were merged into a united Province of Canada, which observed Thanksgiving six times from 1850 to 1865. During this period, Thanksgiving was a solemn, mid-week celebration.
