Canadian Thanksgiving is pretty much the same as American.
It's earlier because our harvest is early-mid October, so that's when we eat all the pumpkin pies and turkeys and stuff. In theory the US is further south, so their harvest is later. But for people in the northern states, harvest time is closer to Canadian Thanksgiving.
Also, we don't tend to deep-fry our turkeys.
Nor are we terribly interested in the Turducken phenomenon.
But for me a standard Thanksgiving dinner is a turkey stuffed with seasoned bread bits & celery, mashed potatoes, mashed turnip (with some brown sugar to make it tasty), carrots, green beans, gravy, and for those who like it(not me), cranberry sauce.
Dessert is rare, as there's always too much delicious food involved in the dinner.
My dad would usually make a ham for US Thanksgiving since it was just the 3 of us. And bake an apple pie.
