To our Northern Neighbors : Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
Next month, when we celebrate our Thanksgiving I will have a special "thank you" in my heart for Canada which has been a good neighbor to the USA through some rough times.
From World War II and Korea to the Canadian embassy's rescue of Americans in Iran during the crisis there to the present difficult time.
Here's to you, Canada!
Thank you, Jackie, for the reminder.

Thank you also for the little things; maple syrup, ice hockey and timber wolves. And thanks for being a nice neighbor to our loney state of Alaska.

> You can't forget Alex Trebek.Of course not... they have more to atone for than just Celine Dion!  Lousy misogynist pig! Why, I oughtta march right down to Sony Pictures Studios and give them the what for, the way he treats his female contestants... grr.... But they have been so kind as to share the Barenaked Ladies and Moxy Fruvous. So that helps, eh?

Jazz ~ a self-YART is what it is... I'm sure I've spouted previously about my distaste for Alex Trebek's condescending attitude and antiquated sensibilities about women's intelligence. That's one topic on which *not* to get me started. [Mutter, mutter, if I ever make it onto Jeopardy, mutter, mutter...] It doesn't alter my otherwise sterling opinion of Canada.

And thanks for Genevieve Bujold, a tough little elegant nut.
She was wonderful in "Anne of the Thousand Days". I hadn't realised that she was Candian.
PS - I love Amazon's plot description "Henry VIII's obsession with siring a male heir endangers all around him: ..."

Don't forget The Kids in The Hall and as a Vermonter, we thank you for the fact that you make expensive prescription drugs in the US available as cheap over-the-counters. I also love going into a nice restaurant in Montreal and thinking "Hey, these prices are really reasonable," and then realizing that they are in Canadian! (CAD1.5 = USD1 or so)

A bit late (I have to ration my time), but thank you Jackie for the good wishes.
Since Flatlander mentioned Kids in the Hall, might I suggest "Made in Canada" which has to be one of the funniest shows on television. It is set in a tv production company in Toronto and the characters are hilarious. Very biting and cynical humour.

I only recently had time to get back into the I&A section. I was up to my ears in turkey for Thanksgiving and the week following it. But it was very sweet of you guys to wish us happy Thanksgiving, so I wanted to say so even if it's a couple of weeks later! I printed out the thread for my husband. He'll appreciate the good wishes from people elsewhere in the world. (I rave all the time about the Board so now he can see for himself just how nice you all are!)

Love to some of the "other" North Americans, wherever they are in the world, celebrating Thanksgiving today.
May your turkeys be hot and your families and friends loving and kind. I'm sure that it will be an emotional day for many of you and our thoughts are with you. Raise a toast to your virtual friends around the world and we'll do the same wherever we are.
Love Jo

In the same spirit as the Canadian thread which preceded this:
Today we will forgive you for Jimmy Osmond's "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" and I thank you for Tina Turner's "Simply the Best", Frank Sinatra's "My Way" and Gloria Gaynor's "I will Survive" actually the list is pretty long so I'll stop there. You can thank us for taking Madonna off your hands!

A blessed Thankgiving to all. "The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God."http://holydays.tripod.com/linc.htm

Thank you all our Canadian friends for reciprocating good wishes for Thanksgiving to those of us here in USA.
Here's to Canada and the USA, friends who share the longest unfortified border in the world, long may it stay that way.
