So who discovered Canada and why do they need any Thanksgiving?

Bless you my child

Yes because he invented hockey. 

OK.  It the only name that comes to me when it comes to history of Canada.  Seems like I would know something about your history but I don't.  I suppose I assumed yall happened about the same time as us.  :)

Canada  didn't happen till almost 100 years after USA was conceived in 1776.

So yall are really a young country.  I didn't realize. Thanks  What is the actual association with England today?  There is no real association with France, is there?  You just have some French-speaking areas.....right?

Just kind of a loose association with England as the 'Mother Country ' . The Brits still think we are a colony.  We still borrow the Queen's mug to print on our $20.00 bills.

No official association with France. English and French are our official languages.  The province of Quebec is largely French. Some areas do not even speak English.  Some of them would like Quebec to separate from Canada. 

I remember that name.  I think it was Samuel de Champlain or something.

Sam was also noted for inventing 'Pepsi'.

Good point.  Only to be outdone by the (Canada) bloody British, or as I like to call them "the other whiteys".

Might be an idea to annex Canada now and make  Prime Minister Trudeau President to get rid of Trump and Clinton. 

The Vikings discovered Newfoundland which did not become part of Canada until 1949. They named it 'Vineland ' to try to encourage people to come settle there thinking it was a warm climate. 

I like my answer better.
