Thanks.

No, it's a federal holiday.

... in the United States. Normal mail delivery in most of the world.

Also not in Canada today either, I assume...Isn't Columbus Day also the Canadian Thanksgiving? Not knowing the full details...Canadians, do you eat turkey today and watch the Argonauts play the Stampeders?

Banks in the US are also closed.

Partially correct. Express mail and special deliveries are still made.

Canadians do eat Turkey on Thanksgiving. Even those of us down south have a Turkey dinner, though in deference to our American friends we have ours on Sunday night.

As for the CFL, the big Thanksgiving day games are as follows:

Hamilton at Montreal, 1:00 PM
Saskatchewan at Calgary, 4:00 PM

No one cares.
