The factual background on Canada’s Thanksgiving as it pertains to its official designation in Canada is this: in Canada, officially speaking, and by official proclamation in Canada’s Parliament is…:
“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.
Luckily I do this every day, so it’s a snap.
