Well, like the US, while it can be traced to the early settlers, the official holiday wasn't proclaimed until relatively recently

On Thursday, January 31, 1957, the Parliament of Canada proclaimed:

A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed – to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October.

No thanks. I'm neither frivolous with my money, nor guilty for someone else's actions.

I have to agree. We have a similar situation here in NZ because the European's took over the country and forced the Maori out of there lands and introduced them to tobacco and alcohol. To this day they have been trying to get their lands back but its very difficult for the government to give it back to them (I'm not sure why). It's not fair to blame our current generation because out ancestors stole their land. I do however think we need to respect them and their beliefs.
