    I caught the middle part of the game on tv but kept an eye on it through the internets through to the end.
    Go Jays!

    Traditional I think it was whatever was available like geese or duck but now with turkeys readily available and the hype from down south, most every one cooks turkey. I found this on our Thanksgiving traditions. One reason ours is earlier is our harvest time finishes earlier. November can be snowy in places.

    Some Canadians argue that their Thanksgiving honors the fateful 1578 voyage of the English explorer Martin Frobisher, who was seeking a Northwest Passage to the Pacific. Separated from his fleet in a July storm, Frobisher and his crew abandoned hope, only to be reunited weeks later north of Labrador. They held a service to give thanks, and tucked into the standard fare on 16th-century English ships: salt beef, ship biscuits and peas, according to Dorothy Duncan, author of the cookbook “Nothing More Comforting: Canada’s Heritage Food.”

    Nova Scotia appears to have taken the idea of a harvest festival from the pre-revolutionary American Colonies during the 1750s. Loyalists who went north after the American Revolution also brought the celebration with them.

    In 1859, the colony of Canada proclaimed its first day of thanksgiving. Parliament passed legislation in 1957 making Thanksgiving Day an annual holiday, celebrated on the second Monday of October.

    My wife is Canadian but we did not celebrate this year.
    In years past we have invited friends over for a traditional meal
    and this year everyone was tied up with other plans.

    Looking forward to American Thanksgiving
