Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! (Monday)
Yes Ken we eat turkey too. We tried seals but they're not as tasty and they are way too big to fit in the oven. 
Yes we also have all the trimmings that go with a Turkey dinner. I guess you know that our's is held early due to the early harvest. I used to serve lasagna as well but decided it's cheaper and easier to just get a bigger turkey.

Little info for Ken
There are three traditions behind our Canadian Thanksgiving Day.
Long ago, before the first Europeans arrived in North America, the farmers in Europe held celebrations at harvest time. To give thanks for their good fortune and the abundance of food, the farm workers filled a curved goat's horn with fruit and grain. This symbol was called a cornucopia or horn of plenty. When they came to Canada they brought this tradition with them.
In the year 1578, the English navigator Martin Frobisher held a formal ceremony, in what is now called Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. He was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him - Frobisher Bay. Other settlers arrived and continued these ceremonies.
The third came in the year 1621, in what is now the United States, when the Pilgrims celebrated their harvest in the New World. The Pilgrims were English colonists who had founded a permanent European settlement at Plymouth Massachusetts. By the 1750's, this joyous celebration was brought to Nova Scotia by American settlers from the south.
