Oddbean new post about login | logout @8bc907f7 We have our own Thanksgiving in October, it's a fairly significant one despite having less historical basis.
@Parker Banks less historical basis This is impossible, my friend @8bc907f7
@Leyonhjelm @8bc907f7 We don't even have a faux-lore surrounding it, someone in the 50s just declared "lets have our own thanksgiving in October".
@Parker Banks Give it time, in a hundred years your maple will have spring from the bosom of mother Canada herself, who appeared in the visage of Queen Victoria before John A MacDonald on a sleepless night, and later again appearing in a similar vision to the Governor General of Canada Vincent Massey caused him to proclaim the date to be recognised by the whole of Canada in perpetuity @8bc907f7
@Leyonhjelm @8bc907f7 Didn't you hear? The Maple is being replaced by the Ginkgo leaf.
