90 years back, all of the mix-border traffic was People in america visiting Canada to obtain drunk legally. It had been party time north from the border, high was not ever full Prohibition. Now, it's Canadians going south looking for Black Friday deals- in huge amounts. Marina Strauss creates within the Globe and Mail:
According to a different poll by Angus Reid for UPS Canada, Canadian merchants can get to get rid of among every five consumers to U.S. Black Friday-Cyber Monday discount rates. Thirty percent is going to be searching for the holiday season.
Now I had been just in downtown Toronto also it sure did not seem like 20% from the population vanished, but it's still a wide array. 90% from the entire Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the usa border (it's warmer there), but that's still lots of driving, and lots of idling when they wait to mix the border. I question, should you element in the gas, the meals along with other miscellaneous expenses, just how much one really saves.
