While the date and observations are somewhat different, the purpose is with the same meaning. One of the things on my list of grateful reflection is that I have this neighbor. We needn't think far among the adjacent nations of the planet to know we share an uncommon closeness and cooperation. Even with the small differences of the politicians, we know we have a unique fellowship of countries. Thanks for being my neighbor.




And I want to thank you for giving me TWO paid Thanks Givings this year.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to Canada.

Hope yours was a very Happy Thanksgiving, Canada. Great to have you as neighbors!

I was especially pleased with Canada's Thanksgiving this year. Understand that I am technically a consultant and supposedly part time for the small company I work for. Well, after 12 years, I am a little more involved than I want to be now but they treat me well. Last week I made a point to casually bring up our holiday schedule with the owner and after some general comments, made the distinct statement that "all I care is that I'm off Thanksgiving with pay".

"Of course. You're salaried, so you're not effected." was the answer.

Thursday I leave the plant at the end of my 'normal' work week. Seventeen hours later I'm setting with Pixies as I my boss. "John, are you at your desk? ….. Recall our conversation about holidays on Tuesday? ….. Look at your calendar. I'm in Halifax, Nova Scotia for Canada's Thanksgiving weekend. I'll see you Tuesday." ……………….. Yes I really am."
