Why is the canadian and american thanksgiving on different days?

2 different countries; 2 different celebrations

Different times for the season and harvest to come in. Since thier climate is colder, they had to wait for the harvest either shorter or longer, (I dont know which day thier Thanksgiving is)... I wish you well.. Jesse

Different countries with different customs. I think they celebrate the arrival of the first European in that respective countries and consequently they celebrate the arrival on different days because they arrived at different times.

By November and the American Thanksgiving, Canada is so darn cold no one has anything to be thankful for. So in Canada it had to be moved up to October, which also is not very warm. So really, Canadians should celebrate Thanksgiving in the middle of July or August.

Canadian thanksgiving is about giving thanks to God for a bountiful harvest and is celebrated when the harvest is completed in October , American thanksgiving remembers the pilgrims.

Weather mostly. October is still pleasant up here. Besides, the actual historic feast way back in the 1600s took place on US soil. Although such an event actually bears upon our own history as well we're the fortunate ones to be the 49th north paralell and so autumn is early here.

Simply because we have different times when we landed and gave a feast of thanks for surviving the trip.

there different contries. we have diferent holidays. and a border to keep it that way
