Kooky Canuck will be serving Canadian Thanksgiving dinner this coming Monday, October 9. Canadians celebrate their Thanksgiving a month and a half earlier than Americans, but the fare is much the same – turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, green beans, potatoes. If you don’t feel like waiting for November to get your turkey on, you don’t have to.
