Listen "Happy Thanksgiving from Canada"

Episode Synopsis

As I write this, I hear children playing hockey in the road.

Growing up in the UK we did not celebrate Thanksgiving but in our school
assemblies and church services we did celebrate Harvest Festival,  a
communal acknowledgment of the earth’s bounteous gifts. The hymns and rural
gatherings marked the end of the most active time of the year in
agricultural communities, with anticipation (and hopes) that stocks will be
sufficient to survive the winter.
