Not a New Year's post

Here's something not relevant at all right now (following a conversation with Mark F.): the reason why the U.S. and Canada celebrate Thanksgiving at different times (November in the States, October up here). I had always thought it was one of our British holdovers (like Boxing Day), but apparently it was much more political than that.

Okay, okay, Happy New Year!
