Nope, and when they call me one and I point out I am a Canadian they usually laugh and mockingly apologize.

Jaja,at a party once a Mexican asked me if I was a Canadiense,I asked him if he was a Guatemalteco,friends there who knew me laughed at that one..Cheers.

Thanks Bob!

One of the great advantages of living lakeside is being able to celebrate 2 Thanksgivings, one on the second Monday of October and the other which is of course, today, the 4th Thursday of November.

Double Thanksgiving to all of you.

I have never heard any Mexicans using that term. I don't know if they have a slang for a Canadian but I am curious now and will ask around. I may not like the answer......

From the Gingoes thanks to all everywhere. Its the one day a year when folks can know they can eat a good meal and I mean all folks! We actually get nice now and than :-)

It's great. Our Canadian friend put on a feast for that occasion and her guests were happy to celebrate with her. Now, she's joining our celebration.

Yes, you may not care for it! I have often heard Canadians referred to as "cacadienses".

Codos??? .......or in sign language....the "old slap the elbow"...not you, of course, Bob.

And probably we should all remember the Real story of the first Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the link, Stevie.
"Clintonites" Karl Marx?
This reminds me of some past Thanksgivings when politics got discussed amongst family.

I only know that The Vancouver Canucks are a professional ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey .

Oh and they play in Rogers Stadium. And I presume that Bob is a fan thereof.

MexicoPete, Cdn thanksgiving is the 2nd Sunday in October, I think. We get the Monday as a stat holiday in order to recover. I could be wrong.. Holidaywise I think the USA gets a better deal. Thanksgiving is Nov. 26. Then you add in shoulder days making this one a 4 day holiday, then, it's less than a month 'till Xmas. Yikes.
