If this isnt the real Thanksgiving, what is? I'm serious. I don't know.

- 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

@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."
