Save Our Sundays

Why the Sunday shopping ban has to be reinstated in Nova Scotia?

It's been a few years since we had the Sunday shopping plebiscite in 2004. I sure wish I would have known what I know now about the issue and why the ban should be reinstated without any questions. I guess the best way to address this to the public is start from the beginning step by step.

I can remember before the plebiscite the premier at the time was John Hamm and he was under considerable pressure to open stores on Sundays. He was getting it from tourism and the Chamber of Commerce. Poll after poll was introduced to us on TV and in our newspapers and radio. Would you like to have Sunday shopping? Yes or No? Despite the polls and the claims by the media that the majority of Nova Scotians wanted Sunday shopping, we went to the polls in a plebiscite to decide whether or not to have Sunday shopping.

Sunday shopping ends for the winter in PEI

Proposal to change Sunday shopping hours in Winnipeg

I can remember back in 2004 before the plebiscite on Sunday shopping ,we were told that we were the last province in Nova Scotia to have Sunday shopping. Needless to say, Prince Edward Island was also being fed that same exact line by the media, which promotes business. After all, who advertises with them? It's something we all should be thinking about.
In Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce is pushing the government to loosen up the laws on Sunday shopping. The store hours are limited on Sunday and they are being told when they have to close?

German court enforces day of rest

Fantastic News, German Court Enforces Day of Rest. Isn't it about time? If we do not enforce a tax law no one would pay taxes. If we do not enforce holiday pay, business' would not pay out holiday pay. You have to have laws in a society to help those who cannot help themselves.

Sarkozy's government has proposed a bill to introduce Sunday trading

As we move into the 21st Century as some like to point out, I have to wonder if we aren't going backwards instead of ahead. Can you actually believe that France is debating wider Sunday shopping? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/france-debates-wider-sunday-shopping/article1217535/

French President Nicolas Sarkozy's government has proposed a bill to introduce Sunday trading.

Another Sunday shopping ban in the makings in the Netherlands!

After doing some research, it is not hard to see that Sunday laws are a good possibility across our beautiful land as many people are seeing the benefits by having a day off

and it's a benefit of saving our environment at the same time.

Good News Sunday Shopping Banned in Croatia

What fantastic news! No Sunday shopping, and it took the catholic church to pressure government to see this happen. Sadly it had to be the government in Croatia that banned Sunday shopping. Why is it that our government officials want Sunday shopping?

A positive approach for 2009

I have learned that so many people are timid in speaking out against Sunday shopping. I can't understand why? It does not matter if you are a cashier, a cart pusher, if you dig ditches or flip hamburgers. There is nothing wrong with speaking out! Sunday shopping may seem normal to a good many of people. So was smoking and now that's naughty.
