Pretty crazy that we're closer to 2030, than we are 2005. Where did the time go!

Anyways, it may be a joke, but it's a joke at the expense of my country for something that isn't even true. I can't just let that slide!
The worst part is the guy in the comic isn't even Canadian. Everyone knows a Canadian's mouth is a horizontal line spanning the width of their face, and their eyes are large, oval shaped, black pupils.

What's this thread all aboot?
Yeah, that comic doesn't make sense. QuoteThe history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, to give thanks for surviving the long journey.QuoteThe first recorded Thanksgiving ceremony was on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida. Six hundred Spaniard settlers under the leadership of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés landed at what would become the city and immediately held a Mass of Thanksgiving for their safe delivery to the New World, followed by a feast and celebration.They were initially created by different people for different reasons. <edit> -- and incidentally, it was celebrated long before our countries even existed! Plus, ours is a simple holiday to eat food and celebrate, not a insanely commercialized shopping day!
