Have a great Thanksgiving @Chronicle_Cat. Are the origins of Canadian Thanksgiving similar to those of your noisy neighbours?5.4 for me this morning.
Today is Canadian Thanksgiving (my first since my diagnosis) and I'm having dinner tonight at my mother-in-law's. I'll be able to have turkey & salad and I'm bringing green beans and a diabetic friendly (keto) Pumpkin Pie loaf for dessert.
It's this recipe. https://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/easy-pumpkin-quick-bread-low-carb-and-gluten-free/
When I tested it last week, my nondiabetic husband ate 4 pieces after I sliced it.

Here's some about Canadian Thanksgiving :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(Canada)
It hasn't been to commemorate a specific date as a historical celebration (the way the American Thanksgiving is tied to the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock). I had not heard about Martin Frobisher until recently (even though we studied him as an explorer in grade 5). I think Canadian thanksgiving was influenced by the tradition by Harvest celebrations in English and French Canada both. (The arrival of the United Empire Loyalists - Americans loyal to the British crown who came here after the American revolution) also had an influence.)
It is now celebrated earlier than the American one. Ours is the first Sunday in October, theirs is late November. In eastern Canada, it is usually at the peak of the beautiful autumn colours (like the sugar maple in my avatar.)
That explanation was also given by our Prof when I was at UniI think you're right about the Harvest festivals in England. I started reading about them in Miss Read's village novels, and I started wondering then if the first American Thanksgiving was the Pilgrims continuing the Harvest Festival tradition they had known back in England. In America kids are taught it almost as if it were an invention of the Pilgrims, a first, but like you I think it's the Harvest Festival given a new name. Especially since at Thanksgiving church services here we sing Harvest hymns that are also in the C of E hymnal; and since the Pilgrims held their Thanksgiving feast in November, after the harvest, and not in the spring after surviving their first New England winter.
