HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY! Let’s go shopping! The Christmas Season is Officially underway!!!!
Or is it what it once was?
And it is a thing in decline, maybe that’s a good thing? Less fights over big screen TV’S!!
Black Friday in Canada will be subdued. And actually there may be not only fewer Black Friday shoppers this year, but fewer wallets opening for the Christmas holiday season as a whole, as Canadians continue to struggle with the incredibly high cost of living.

3 Women. 3 meltdowns. 3 incidents that make you say “why are we allowing crazy people to fly”. These are just nothing else but insane. We might need to look at medicating people before flights to keep everyone calm at 40 000 feet.
First up-‘I gotta go pee!’: Woman pulls pants down in aisle during Florida flight, video shows
Number 2-‘She’s Possessed!’: Another Woman Has Freaked Out on an Airplane, while another sings gospel and tries to “save” passengers.
And Finally, the “mushroom woman”. Do not attempt this before flying. Consuming anything that is mood altering before a flight is always a bad idea.
