For very confused Americans, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in October not November. Our Thanksgiving also doesn’t have the association with pilgrims and natives either.

Still thankful for y’all.

Gobble gobble. For those who will be eating turkey today, eat a lil extra for me. Haven’t had a Thanksgiving dinner in years and I’m dying a little on the inside. 💙

      No, that’s not true. We call Thanksgiving Thanksgiving. They’re two completely different holidays. We don’t celebrate Columbus day at all here in Canada. There’s literally no connection at all outside of the date being the same and even that wasn’t part of the original holiday.

      Also not sure why you’re trying to @ the entire community in your comments.

          Ok? You’re responding to a deleted comment, and it’s already been explained to you that Canadians do not celebrate Columbus Day. It’s literally Thanksgiving Day.

            @WarmSoda if its deleted, than there’s something wrong with your server sending the delete command over ActivityPub.

            And its still Columbus Day…I don’t care what your government claims.

              Absolutely. It’s not your server that you already said had issues, it’s someone else’s server.
              And it’s obviously not your government that’s wrong, it’s the other person’s government that doesn’t even recognize the holiday.

              Everyone else’s fault but yours, amiright

                @WarmSoda all governments are wrong. When did I ever say libranet.de has issues? I indicated that Frendica works differently from lemmy, but different doesn’t mean wrong.
