The PEI Guardian misleads people on Sunday shopping in Nova Scotia

Sunday Shopping in Canada
I can not believe this article," Sunday shopping policy only keeps the debate alive ".
"So how has Ghiz government handled this hot potato? In spite of a legislative committee's recommendation that government get out of the business of regulating Sunday shopping, in spite of a Supreme Court of Nova Scotia ruling that struck down a ban on Sunday shopping in that province, the Ghiz government came up with a hybrid approach"

It's one thing to give an opinion and another to mislead people on what happened here in Nova Scotia.

Ghiz says no to year-round Sunday shopping

Sunday Shopping in Canada
Recent news out of Prince Edward Island is a small victory for Mothers and Fathers of the province , Ghiz says no to year-round Sunday shopping . Can you imagine another premier refusing to tag along with the rest of the country? I would be so proud to call myself an Islander, to have a premier stick to his principals not to allow year around Sunday shopping in Prince Edward Island. It would be even better if he banned Sunday shopping all together.

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

Sunday Shopping in Canada
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.

A positive approach for 2009
Posted by sos on Sunday, December 28 @ 13:09:13 PST (1319 reads)
Sunday Shopping in Canada  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.

What ever happened to democracy in this country?
Posted by sos on Tuesday, September 16 @ 17:12:41 PDT (1771 reads)
Sunday Shopping in Canada As I sit here on this rainy afternoon, I have to wonder what did happen to Nova Scotia? This October, our province will celebrate
Democracy 250. So many people have spoken about how they love choice. Didn't we have a choice in Oct 2004, when we voted No to Sunday shopping?
