but here in Canada it IS a Christian holiday and the only people who celebrate it are Christians.

What? I'm sitting here in Canada right now, I'm pretty sure I'm much older than you, and this is the first I've ever heard of Thanksgiving being a Christian holiday. (And I'm Catholic, so I presume that's considered nominally Christian by most people.)

I'd say the concept of Thanksgiving here is definitely borrowed from the Americans, but is more of a fall supper kind of thing. It is not a big deal. It's a day off work, with a turkey dinner. There aren't any religious aspects to it, unless you count "being mindful or thankful for the good things in your life" a religious thing.

But why let any of that get in the way of the peculiar argument you seem intent on making?

AYRT

Never met a non-Christian in Canada who celebrates Thanksgiving. Perhaps it's a regional thing.

Well, my non-Christian immigrant co-workers do tend to dispense with the turkey, and just go with a meal they prefer, but in Canada I do tend to think that Thanksgiving is mostly just a long weekend with a more elaborate than usual family meal (traditionally turkey).

And yes, it could totally be a regional thing. I'm on the prairies, so there are quite a few fall suppers to begin with. I have no idea if that's the case elsewhere.
