Nick R Why are Canadians not Americans? They live in America too. Ahem: I'll bite. You might as well ask why the British are not the same as the French. They live in Europe, after all. ) I suspect the difference in the dates on which thanksgiving is observed in The US and Canada are due to the Canadian celebration being a harvest festival, while the US observance dates back to the Pilgrim fathers who celebrated a safe passage to the new world.

Oh NO Senor~ LOL! We are North Americans, yes. But we are Canadians. We have our own culture and heritage that is different from the US. While we love our American neighbors and we have a lot in common with them, the term American has become associated with a citizen of the United States of America just as Canadian or Canuck has become associated with us lot who live North of the border. As for Thanksgiving, yes, it is a harvest related thing but the meals and customs are much the same. We give thanks for the bounty before us and for whatever else we are greatful for such as our family and friends and so forth. Nick (Gringo Canuck) |

You might as well ask why the British are not the same as the French. They live in Europe, after all. ) We most certainly do not live in Europe. Europe is a continent off the east coast of Great Britain. It used to be frequently cut off by fog. And that makes us both Europeans - which we are. Surely Mexicans are Americans too ?
