Yep, no institutional racism in Canada. That's why European Canadians speak the languages and follow the laws that were in place when their ancestors arrived.

Or is tay saying it's OK to participate in institutional racism as long as you don't mention it?

Nooooooooooo. What I am saying is Thanksgiving Day in Canada doesn't 'celebrate' the same concept the United States does.

Ours is based on the celebration of the harvest....

Why would I use a different word when this one is perfect? Perhaps if people quit being so silly, I would have no need for the word. If you weren't so silly, you would understand that.

Oh. . . OK.

We like to pretend ours is too. Because the harvest isn't in until late November in New England.

Gee, Minneapolis has a point. Before the conquest of Christianity the most prevalent and succesful faith in the Americas was that of the Aztecs, a blood religion that demanded 10 of thousands human sacrifices a year, to ensure the sun rose in the east the rains nourished the harvest. Since we've ditched Christianity, and sacrifice 10s of millions infants by way of abortion.. we might as well start celebrating old indigenous symbols as well. All fits perfectly in perfectly with the Guilty White Man Syndrome.. and Columbus was one of the guiltiest... Justin would agree totally.

"Most prevalent and successful" because you say so? Or is there a single anthropologist on the planet that would agree?

Go burn a heretic, liar.

What's the big deal? We have national aboriginal day in Canada and were still white. Lol....

We celebrate thanksgiving at this time in regards to a harvest and tbh it fits because we had 2 frosts already were I live that happened before thanksgiving
