Today's Topic: Boxing Day sales and tax break:
CTV: "OPP shut down Hwy. 401 off-ramp clogged with Boxing Day deal-hunters"
CBC:'"Not that much of a deal': Shoppers, businesses lukewarm on GST holiday"
Global: "Shoppers flocked to malls on Thursday to take advantage of Boxing Day deals made more enticing by the federal government’s GST holiday.."
National post : Silence-nothing
