True, but I remember them saying something like "yeah, and now before we go over to the more important matters like the global warming or political crisis that are actual news, just a quick mentioning that thanksgiving is now going on in the US and they do their crazy shopping stuff about that for the days that are following"...
Wasn't Liberia some sort of non-liberal US colony? Canada is more suprising though, but I assume it is not the québécois. Also theologicaly it is protestant only and not sure if the atheist people of the US celebrate it or not.
Thanksgiving isn't a religious holiday, not really at all.
