Happy Thanksgiving Mark and fellow Canucks. Enjoy the day and appreciate it as a day of thanks for the numerous bounties we appreciate and those we sometimes take for granted. Actually it's Thanksgiving up here on Monday, not today though.

Allan, we had Thanksgiving yesterday as it's easier to get everyone together. Just the usual, too much food, too much to drink and too much fun. Now a whole day to recover!

Today is the day, going to visit family. We stole everything from our Indians up here too, we are slowing giving it all back unfortunately. Most Native people here are in a cycle of welfare and alcohol. The Pilgrims did live in peace with the natives for years. Native people thought of themselves as car takers of the land, not outright owners. Unfortunately, non violent people don't stay in power long. We like to think our history is blemish free, it isn't. Happy Thanksgiving.
