This post is sentimental and off-topic, apart from its obvious link to the triumphs of Canadian transit and of Vancouver in particular. But hey, it’s my blog.
Though I lived in Canada for only a year, I hope my fondness for the country comes through in this sentimental meditation on Canadian thanksgiving. I wrote it five years ago around this time, when I was based in Vancouver, but it all feels true enough today.
Thanksgiving Day in Canada is Monday, October 11. May it be a day of joy and gratitude for all of HT’s Canadian readers, and for anyone who’s ever admired their remarkable nation.
