Black Friday today is called, by just about everyone in the e-Commerce channel as well as bricks & mortar retailers here in North America. Yes, I know….it used to be a major US only event…the big shopping day after the US Thanksgiving Thursday. And yes, it’s attractiveness has spread north of 49° and I’ve heard already 2 street reporters on my drive into the office today talking about the lineups at Toronto’s Eaton Centre. Retailers rejoice for this day…

Hi Jim,

Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea whether there are a lot of Canadian e-commerce sites that specifically target U.S. buyers? (I'm not talking about Canadian sites owned and operated by U.S. multinationals here, but Canadian-based firms that simply cater to U.S. customers.) If so, I would think these sites would participate actively in Black Friday and other special events U.S. shoppers might tend to expect.
