A Donair has sweet sauce, a Doner Kebab strictly speaking uses a cream as it's sauce. The only real variation between them all is the sauce.
Also, the Doner is way better in Europe, not only is it tastier, but cheaper. When I went on my 90 day Euro trip I had a Doner nearly every day because their so damn cheap, like $3-4 converted and the amount of meat is probably 350g. I want to go back to Europe just for a damn Doner Kebab.

Donair/Doner, Gyro/Yiro are all just spelling variations on the original foreign words. Saying a donair is Canadian is like saying a Yiro is Australian because that's how they choose to spell it there. Its all just phonetical translations into English. (Think Osama/Usama)
And I agree, the different variations are all based on different sauces used, but what I was getting at is that we're all using our own sauces regardless of what we're calling it. A Gyro should be Greek (tzatziki, etc), Shwarma middle eastern, Doner Turkish, etc, which just leads people to be confused, especially in Canada where the same thing goes by about 12 different names.
