Q: In the US, its Nov 26. In Canada it is October 2nd. Why are they different?
A: So all countries should celebrate Thanksgiving on the same day? Unlike Christmas and Easter, Thanksgiving may be different for those countries that have a Thanksgiving holiday. In the US. For the US and Canada it's a moving holiday.. That is to say that unlike Christmas or New Years it has no fixed date. In the US it falls on the fourth Thursday in November. In Canada it's the second Monday in October. So this year it fell on October 8th in Canada and November 22 in the US. Next year it will be October 13th in Canada and November 27th.
