Happy Canadian Thanksgiving 2015, Eh!

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

No American TransGriot readers, this isn't a typo.  In case you weren't aware of it, our Canadian cousins get their Turkey Day grub on during the second Monday in October instead of the fourth Thursday in November we celebrate it on.

As Canadians settle down at dinner tables across their nation to partake in those delicious Thanksgiving meals, they will do so knowing that next Monday they will be heading to the polls for a federal election.

On October 19 our Canadian cousins will be voting to determine which party, the NDP, the Liberals, or the Conservatives will get the lion's share of the now 338 seats up for grabs in the House of Commons, with 170 seats being the magic number needed to gain majority control of the House.

Just wanted to take a moment to wish all my friends and my north of the border TransGriot readers a Happy Thanksgiving!

May your food be tasty , the company eating it with you delightful, and your travels to and from your Thanksgiving destinations be safe and drama free.
