isn't it obvious Grunherz? A bunch of red commies got together and plotted to ruin America's thanksgiving by having it a month or so earlier.
These evil commie socialist scumbags (who drink lots of vodka especially when ice fishing) figured they would eat all the turkeys, pigs (ham comes from pigs) and the occasional fruit bat to make sure the heathen American's wouldnt have any secular way to celebrate killing most of their natives.
Fortunately for you the Good Ole U S of A had turkeys too.
Happy Thanksgiving to us bass ackward Canucks
