The differences are subtle, but important:
-Donair sauce is sickly sweet (imo, I hate donair sauce) and made with condensed milk.
-The spices used on the meat are different.
It’s a good question, though - I’ve always associated donair with Halifax, and shawarma with Ottawa (it’s more a ubiquity thing than anything else). Does any Canadian city lay claim to the gyro?

Is that the same thing as the German/Turkish Döner?
(I’m sorry Halifax, I also think the sauce is gross 😤)
