Looking at US Thanksgiving coverage I’m so thankful that for most Cdns our Thanksgiving doesn’t include football. Maybe a little baseball this year but rarely an armchair athlete tradition. My family’s been known to hike/walk, play horseshoes, look at fall colours…cook/eat a feast & show gratitude.

You better bet this is part of why Cdns never want to become USns though perhaps not superficially. Why on 🌎 wouldn't one embrace a tidy metric system? Why bathe oneself in regression? Isn't that the current problem? I know we don't do it perfectly. Old dogs-new tricks. But we're getting better.
