If this isnt the real Thanksgiving, what is? I'm serious. I don't know.
- pfff obviously the Canadian one, we do it a month before you :)_niko
- Thanksgiving in North America was started in Canada something like 70 years before the first one in the US, and had nothing to do with pilgrims or sharing corn with natives.i_monk
- ... had nothing to do with pilgrims or sharing corn with natives, but was a harvest celebration.i_monk
- That's not how I know it to be:
http://en.wikipedia.…)ETM - It was a thanksgiving for being delivered safely from such a hellish ship voyage.ETM

@ETM, from wiki:
"In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition is commonly, but not universally, traced to a poorly documented 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts."
"While some researchers state that "there is no compelling narrative of the origins of the Canadian Thanksgiving day,"[4] the origin of the first Canadian Thanksgiving is often traced back to 1578 and the explorer Martin Frobisher."

Thanksgiving did not become a national holiday in the United States until the fall of 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation declaring that the last Thursday in November would be a day of national thanksgiving.

If you don't care about about America, why do you start threads on QBN about it?

I started this thread as a place for fellow non-Americans to pipe up in on a day I knew there would be very, very few Americans active on the site. It was never intended to be an America-båshing thread or a contest to see who cares the least about that place.
