I was watching the morning news getting ready for work today – CP24 is *desperate* for Black Friday to catch on in Canada. You can see them foaming at the mouth at the prospects of "Twenty-Three Trampled At Eaton Centre" and "Woman Trades Newborn for Black Friday iGadget" headlines. Instead they have to watch from afar. One of the talking heads even pulled this from her ass: It's quiet on the street because people are taking the day off to go shopping.
CBC at least gave some perspective on it, showing it's a slow creep lead by US-owned retailers in Canada, and not nearly the phenomenon it's hyped up to be.
