Wrong - for some people Sunday is the only day they can get it.

except for church, maybe? So you admit there is hurrying on Sunday. Well 
then, why not have shopping, since obviously people are in a hurry on 
Sunday anyway. Besides, stay home if you like?

Not everyone believes in God.

OK, I will. What's your point?

So I haven't heard you advocating that golf courses, gas stations, movie 
theatres, etc. close on Sunday. Better write yor MLA, quickly! Isn't 
Shopper's Drug Mart a corporate big shot? How about Famous Players? Or 
Esso? McDonald's?

Actually, I went to Ontario. While I loved living in NS, and would love 
to move back someday, I really enjoy Sunday shopping here. Guess what, 
people still get days off, the little stores are still in business, and 
the students love having the extra day to work, and last, but definitely 
not least, people are still free to stay home and enjoy their Sunday if 
they choose.
