Canadian Thanksgiving a week away, God knows!

I’m already looking forward to the turkey. 

And I think even liberals celebrate it—even in Parliament which is not in session that day.  It is in fact a legal national holiday. 

But what’s this?  It’s about God?  That ain’t liberal! 

The background on Canada’s Thanksgiving as it pertains to its official designation is this:  in Canada, officially speaking, and by official proclamation in Canada’s Parliament, Thanksgiving is a religious holiday as much as—or even more than—a celebration of the harvest as modern liberals like to emphasize it. 

That’s right—it’s about thanking God or as Canada’s official proclamation aptly puts it—

“A day of general Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed.”

On January 31, 1957 Parliament issued a proclamation with that wording to permanently fix the second Monday in October as Thanksgiving…  in order for the nation to thank God Almighty. 

That makes me happy.

I wonder if our new Governor-General will simply thank and “solemnly affirm”—-“the Liberal-left government almighty” for the bountiful harvest.
