U.S. Retailers changing Holiday Shopping across Canada - Fully embracing 'Black Friday' with 61% planning to shop  Canadians have now fully embraced the U.S. shopping phenomenon of Black Friday, which has long been when holiday sales in the U.S. began in earnest. About one in five Canadian retailers are planning a dedicated Black Friday sale this year, and a recent survey from Accenture found that 61 per cent of Canadian shoppers are planning to hit the stores that day too. The shopping landscape has changed so much in recent years, Black Friday is beginning to overshadow Boxing Day (day after Christmas) he said, getting people out to stores earlier. ctvnews.ca

Canadian retailers are getting their butts kicked online by U.S. retailers
Fresh estimates suggest the likes of Amazon, Walmart and Apple among others whose owners reside south of the border are collecting most of the money we spend making online purchases. That trio alone takes in about half of the $21.6 billion in Canadian e-commerce sales annually, according to some estimates. Add in computer maker Dell alongside other big U.S. sellers of electronics and general merchandise who operate in Canada, such as Staples, Costco and Best Buy, and the total share of the billions being spent online this holiday season swings heavily in favour of retailers with U.S.-based addresses. globalnews.ca

Sunday's Pharmacy Robbery third in Saskatoon so far this fall
Saskatoon police are looking for the man who robbed a pharmacy in River Heights on Sunday night. The man, described as about six-feet tall with a medium to large build, walked into a drugstore in a strip mall at Assiniboine Drive and Warman Road around 11 p.m. and went directly to the pharmacy, where he demanded drugs, police stated in a release. No weapon was shown or seen by the staff. The man then left on foot with an undetermined amount of narcotics. His direction of travel was not observed. A police canine unit and several patrol units were dispatched to the area, but could not locate the suspect, police said. Two other Saskatoon pharmacies were robbed of narcotics recently. On Oct. 31, a man with a scarf over his face robbed a pharmacy in the Stonebridge neighborhood. Nearly two weeks earlier, on Oct. 19, a man with a neck warmer pulled up over his face robbed a pharmacy in the Sutherland area. thestarphoenix.com
