Black Friday is nothing more than a plea from shitty big businessmen to
"bail us out because we don't know how to run a corporation". For a lot
of people it means "stay home Friday and stay away from the crazies on
the road and at the stores". I'm waiting for "Red February". :-D

I keep forgetting about this black friday thing, here. Jesus. At least
it is, technically, *after* Turkey Day, and so, the Xmas Season
kickoff...
I like Canada a lot - As much as I love the US tribe, Canada is always
a kinder and gentler example, to me, of how to act as a country,
though their much smaller population makes it all a bit easier to
manage, too. I cannot recall ever having met a Canadian, who was not
friendly, giving, personable, and trustworthy. I worked with several,
for years, in various tech companies. Have only visited Ottowa, though
- Loved It - Instant Europe. I don't know where it comes from, but my
daughter is a big hockey fan - not quite religion, but it is her 'go
to' game.
Happy Thanksgiving, if yours is on the same day...or just good morning!

I mentioned about Thanksgiving, being a less commercial holiday than
our others, and am curious if a similar holiday exists in the other
countries represented here? In other words, one not tied to religion
or patriotism, or a great person, but simply to give thanks for what
we have.

/*Canadian thanksgiving is pretty much the same but we don't have the
big shopping thing the day after. Canadians tend to be a bit more
understated than Americans in most things they do on a large scale -
oh, except for the hockey thing. That is religion here and considered
their own invention although I think some arguments exist that Holland
invented the first hockey sticks and the idea of hitting objects
around a frozen surface.*/
