Black Friday In Canada?

When someone were to speak about `Black Friday` they would assume all the ridiculous sales and discounts they will be able to receive from the other side of the boarder. But that does not seem like the case this year, black Friday is also taking place in Canada. For black Friday sales, Canadian often hop over the boarder to shop and save money. It is a win-win situation for Canadians if they were to shop in the US because currently the Canadian Dollar (CAD) is higher than the US Dollar (USD). So, our dollar being higher and the prices for the goods we can buy from the US being cheaper, the question that comes up is `why shouldn`t we go to the US to shop?` Well I`ll give you one very good reason, there`s black Friday in Canada too! Black Friday is not known to be for Canada, we are more of a Boxing day nation but at the rate that Canadian are hoping over the boarder to save money, something has to happen to preserve our domestic income. When Canadian go over to the US, the US is obviously making that Canadian money. Why should we let that happen. So in response to the CRAZ Canadian stores and malls have issued their own black friday sales to preserve the Canadian income. That is business Canada is losing if we go over to the US to shop. In this day and age everyone is a bit lazy, so to drive all the way to the US for savings that are already  here in Canada might not make much sense.

Two notable Canadian malls, Toronto`s own the Eaton center and the West Edmonton Mall (that happens to be the largest mall in North America) both opened extra early to feed the craz that is a Canadian Black Friday. The west Edmonton Mall opened up at 8 a.m two hours earlier than usual, while Toronto`s Eaton Center threw open its doors prior at 6 a.m, the earliest its ever opened. Staff at some stores in the Toronto Mall had to open even earlier than that because even before the sun had risen shoppers were already lining up outside of stores. Others malls also joined the Canadian Black Friday day, nine malls in Ontario opened early Fairview mall, Sherway Gardens and Shops at Don Mills in Toronto, Markville in Markham and Promenade in Thornhill. Canadians have no reason now to hop the boarder they are receiving those discounts and saving at home. Canadian stores are happy with this move they are keeping their customers happy and are making money at the same time. Mean while America is losing a bit of Canadian business but they still have more than enough people to mount a nice profit. Americans will always be Americans, just yesterday they are thankful for all the things God has given them and then tomorrow on Black Friday they are obsessed with buying more things to fulfill their desires. This is why Canadians are thankful at least a month before hand before going crazy for mere material objects. BANG BANG

Rom Vs. Obam

With the election day simply looming in the distance President Barack Obama and Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney made a last chance effort to wow the voters on Sunday. In one of the tightest election campaigns in recent American history, this one will come down to the wire. Obama and Romney have their own territories where they have the majority of the vote but as far as reliance goes anything can happen. On Sunday both campaigns were projecting pure confidence to insist that their man had the momentum. "I'm very confident that, two days out from election day, the president's going to be re-elected on Tuesday night," David Plouffe, a White House adviser who managed the president's 2008 campaign.  "Here on the ground, there is a lot of enthusiasm for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan." Republican Eric Cantor, a Virginia congressman and the majority leader of the House of Representatives said about Romney. Both men were in Ohio this Sunday and are very much focused on securing that state. Polls show Obama being up by less than 2% but others show it being neck and neck. The Republicans are firing at Obama accusing him of being a borderline socialist by advocating big government and a welfare state while raising taxes and running up the national debt to levels they consider obscene. The democrats have warned that Romney will slash entitled programs such as Medicare and loosen Wall Street regulations to the extent that another financial meltdown could occur. 

Of course it is easier to tackle the President since he has been in the seat for 4 years already and was forced to captain an already sinking ship (Bush) but Romney is being called out by the democrats of switching his stance on various issues. "He was a friend of immigrants, then a scourge of immigrants, then again a friend. Assault weapons were bad, then good. Abortion was okay, then bad. "the post wrote. Tuesday’s presidential election is ultimately about the U.S. economy. There are numerous issues that matter to the voters at present, but front and center is the limping economy, and the battle between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama is over who has the best plan to boost growth.
