This Week in Business is our weekly recap column, a collection of stats and quotes from recent stories presented with a dash of opinion (sometimes more than a dash) and intended to shed light on various trends. Check every Friday for a new entry.
It's Black Friday today, but sometimes I worry we can lose focus on the true meaning of the day, with the hyper-commercialist celebration being forgotten around all the "reflections on gratitude" nonsense of the neighboring US Thanksgiving.
It's not so much a problem here in Canada, where we booted Thanksgiving to October, giving Black Friday the breathing room it needs for proper observance and letting us get a head start on the thankfulness over those sluggards to our south. No inducing carb-loaded comas mere hours before the sales go live for us!
