POSITIVELY CANADIAN

For the Canadian haters out there that enjoy being against everything Carney does:

You seem to forget who Mark Carney actually is.

This is the guy who kept Canada out of the 2008 financial meltdown:

• Only G7 country that didn’t need bank bailouts

• Faster recovery than the US and Europe

• IMF used Canada as the stability model

Many enquires have been posted about Canadian Thanksgiving. Some Americans are confused and don't believe we celebrate on a different date. Here is Google.

Canadian Thanksgiving started with early celebrations in 1578, but it wasn't made a national holiday until 1879, and its date shifted over the years. The date was officially set on the second Monday in October in 1957.  

• Early celebrations:

  The first recorded Canadian Thanksgiving was in 1578 when explorer Martin Frobisher held a ceremony to give thanks for his safe journey. French settlers also held feasts of thanks starting in the early 1600s. 

• First national holiday:

  After Canadian Confederation, the first official Thanksgiving was a civic holiday on April 5, 1872, to celebrate the Prince of Wales's recovery from a serious illness. Parliament established an annual Thanksgiving Day on November 6, 1879.
