Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 – Where Thanksgiving Should Fall, Judge Drops Ball, & Gift Starts Brawl
Let it be known, I am a PROUD Canadian, so proud that I bleed red……..ah….yeah!
But I will admit there is only ONE time of the year that a part of me wishes I was an American, and it’s this week.
The U.S. does Thanksgiving right, with the parades, football, & Black Friday. It REALLY feels like a Holiday that ranks up there with Christmas. With it falling in November, what a great way to offically start the Holiday season.
Families get together, turkeys fear for their lives, & the hit movies start airing for free on basic cable.
Everywhere you look southside, they are celebrating!
They have pilgrams, and will walk over their own mother-in-laws for a cranberry sauce.
In Canada, Thanksgiving is just a day to eat turkey, no pilgrams. We get the second Monday of October off, think about what we are thankful for, but without all the hoopla and excitement.
I want hoopla and excitement!
I’ve never had my kids say ‘…only 4 more days till Thanksgiving!’
If anybody has the power to move Thanksgiving to Novemeber, I’m all for it!

I don’t know if I’m more ticked off at the judges than the driver pictured above. (I found her picture in the Toronto Sun, who in turn got it from Facebook)
For a second time, a provincial court has dropped the ball with the province’s stunt-driving law.
A Newmarket judge threw out the stunt-driving charge laid against an 18-year-old woman who was accused by police of driving 157 km/h on Hwy. 407, near Pine Valley Dr., in March 2008.
Alexandra Drutz had pleaded not guilty to the charge, laid under Section 172 of the Highway Traffic Act.
Judge Peter West ruled the law isn’t constitutional because a person charged under the legislation can’t mount a defence even though the violation carries a possible penalty of six months in jail.
Oh come one! She was driving 157 km/h!!!!
When you drive your car THAT fast, with no regard for those around you, you have no rights!
I said it before, I’ll say it again. ‘Stunt drivers’ should take themselves out before they hurt someone that society actually gives a damn about.
