Just thought I'd throw this in. Most of the major holidays in the US are the same in Canada (Christmas, Easter, St. Patty's day, etc.), except that we have Thanksgiving in October. And there are a couple of small, miscellaneous holidays that we get that Americans don't, and probably vice versa.

We also have the St-Jean Baptiste! I miss the times I went to see bonfires that day though...in any case the St-Jean is pretty much the national holiday of Québec, kinda like your 4th of July.

Just a thought, should we rename this thread or make a new one called ask Shadowman, Nabmaster, Cheezdude, Doodleshark about Canada?
