Yes. Thanksgiving is a holiday across Canada, and that currently includes Quebec. Our Thanksgiving was in October (on your Columbus Day), whereas the Americans celebrate it in November.
It is a national holiday up here. We celebrate it by getting together with family and friends, and there are special masses at churches. However, in Quebec I find it has mostly been treated as an extra day off work, rather than to reflect on what you have.
By the way, I think in USA the Thanksgiving weekend is a big one for retailers, is it not? Up here the big sales are on Boxing Day (DEC-26), not as much Thanksgiving.

Quebec is part of Canada - so why wouldn't they celebrate their country's version of Thanksgiving?

Yes, they sure do! I celebrated it with my great-grandma in Ste. Sauveur 3 years ago.

Yes, very much so as they are Canadians of course. There is no distinction,
