Ah, good for y'all @shadowspub!
Canada has always had a reputation for doing things better and in more organized fashion, I never knew it extended to turkey breaks. Great work 😂😅

Not so much more organized but more that Parliament did two things when setting the date after decades of it floating around. They decided to set the date close to the end of harvest time in Canada as the holiday is meant to be a giving of thanks for a successful harves. Or at least it was at the time.
These days it's more about a general giving of thanks. The holiday tends to be more lowkey here. It also signals the closing of summer activities like cottages and campgrounds.
Parliament also meant to avoid overshadowing Remembrance Day which is a day of solemn observances of the sacrifices made to preserve our freedoms.
Wow, a lot of thinking went into that, that's still impressive😊,
