Merry Turkey Day to All!
And to all a good night!
<nonsense>
On the second crisp Monday of October, 1963, Joseph Turkman, a rural Ontarian farmer, started making his rounds in a horse drawn carriage. Mr. Turkman, as he liked to be called, would travel the then gravel Provincial Road from Trenton to Morrisburg selling his Autumn Bird door to door, for twenty seven cents each. By the time the railroad was built in 1980 his bird had been renamed the Turkey, in honor of the traveling farmer who introduced his magical bird to the world. On November 27th, 1981, George Washinton was dining on an imported Turkey and was so impressed with the bird he declared a new national holiday; Thanksgiving day, for of the gratitude he felt toward the animal who had given up his life for his to continue. The next year Turkey Day again came, but the Canadians were so impressed by the title the Americans had used, they decided to steal the name. And thus we have the history of Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
