All stories about "Canadian"

Canadian Thanksgiving, although quite similar to its American counterpart, has a few key differences. It's celebrated in October, not November (since harvest time comes sooner to the frosty North), and it's usually limited to a one-day affair, not the four-day extravaganza it can be in the US. Because of its smaller scale, expat Canadians may admit to a certain ambivalence about the importance of Thanksgiving in their hierarchy of holidays, but that doesn't mean they won't feel a slight tug of nostalgia for their roots when the second Monday in October rolls around. Fortunately for them, Paris provides homesick Canucks with a range of options for countering their condition, whether they yearn for an authentic poutine, televised hockey games, or that hard-to-find copy of their favorite Canadian novel.
