It's not really a thing in the french-speaking part of Canada. We do have a holiday for it, but I've never met french-Canadian actually having a Thanksgiving day like the Americans do (family, food, etc). I think it's does happen in the anglophone part though.

Yeah, it's not a huge thing here in Vancouver but it's a reason for White Spot and other places to offer turkey dinners to cook at home, for cafes to offer turkey cranberry croissants, that sort of thing.

Correct. I used to date a Canadian Ukrainian lady (anglophone Ontario) in the 80s and Thanksgiving was observed.

Santa at the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and maybe the closest thing to the an official start of the Christmas season in the US?

We did Thanksgiving lunch at Fogo de Chao today. Part of the decor over the salad bar included a tree & sign in traditional Thanksgiving/fall hues of browns, yellows, oranges and reds that said “Merry Christmas”.
