Black Friday In Canada Is Getting Roasted On Twitter & The Comparisons To The US Are Too Good

The day has finally arrived, and while some people are shopping the sales, others are roasting Black Friday in Canada on Twitter.

Quite a few people are not pleased with the annual discount day happening in Canada, some are making comparisons to the U.S., and one person even joked about getting their citizenship taken away for going south of the border to get a deal.

I despise that Canada adopted the whole Black Friday thing from the US. Whoever decided this, there\u2019s a personal spot right next to Satan, in hell for you.pic.twitter.com/pvbzf3d0p0

Another user compared what Black Friday sales are like in the two neighbouring countries, saying that in Canada, a "person forgets to hold [the] door for you," while in the U.S., it's like a scene from South Park, with everyone fighting.

I'm so embarassed by how Black Friday has become a big thing in Canada. We have no culture. We just imitate America. Poorly.

One user tweeted a comparison of the actual deals offered in Canada and the U.S., saying that the discounts here are minimal, while the U.S. has discounts of hundreds of dollars.

Well said, but yeah, definitely today of all days too. I know a few people who work in retail who always especially dread Black Friday.\n\nThat being said, it's also a little bit different here in Canada:pic.twitter.com/21kfoZXZDC

Someone else explained how Black Friday is "a little bit different here in Canada" by sharing a photo of Gerard Butler screaming in 300 to represent how the day goes in the U.S. For Canada, the user added a photo of a bunch of people apologizing and saying "excuse me" and "thank you."
