I agree that there should be Sunday shopping. Things happen even on Sunday,
that having the opportunity to go to the store would be a god send. Run out
of milk, you have to go pay the Steep prices at Need's etc. Your hot water
heater goes, you have to call a plumber, pay double, and get the hot water
heater from him, because Sears is not open.

You don't want to shop on Sundays, then don't. But we should have the
option. As for those poor people that have to work on Sunday, get over it. I
worked in nursing, and working Sundays was not an option. It still isn't.
Tourism brings millions to this province. Yet if they have the misfortune to
be here on a Sunday, they cannot do any shopping. (other than the little
places) Which for me would be a consideration.

Need more money for health care? Seems to me that Sunday shopping would
bring in more tax revenue.

My husband is disabled, and cannot drive, and I do not have a car (insurance
is way to high here). So we have to do our shopping on Saturday, rather than
be able to go out to a movie etc. Because we cannot put off our shopping
till Sunday if we wanted to.

So you can bet I will be emailing those persons listed on our government. To
let them know that there are people out there that would love to have the
option to do my shopping on Sunday.Or if we decide at the last minute we
want something special for supper, be able to go to the store to get it.

Those who do not want Sunday shopping, would not be affected if it were
allowed. Just because you can do it, does not mean you have to. It is a
choice. Which is all we are asking for.
