Sunday morning I'll be talking the history of Canada's Thanksgiving with Warren Pierce on ABC Radio's "The Warren Pierce Show," AM 740, heard in 36 states and a decent chunk of Canada too. I'm doing it, happily, from a cottage on the Niagara Escarpment high above Georgian Bay -- in the midst of the fall colours, I hope and trust.
We all know an October Thanksgiving is much better than that late-November middle-of-the-Christmas rush thing the Americans have to put up with. But did you know ours was only fixed on the second Monday in October in 1957?
