As per you subject line.  You are wrong.  I do not want sunday shopping. 
Do not lump me in with your claims.

Who is the "we" in your subject line.  Please explain.

What exactly is your point?  "Get with the times" is not much of an
argument, nor is it much of a rallying cry.

Why do you equate having the abilty to shop on sundays with being
"forward?  I do not want to live in an area populated by people whose
resaon for being here is to be able to shop on sundays.  Do you honestly
think that anybody would not move here because they can only shop six days
a week??

Many people do not wish to have sunday shopping.  I am one of them.  Can
you not organize your time so as to be able to buy your desired products
on the other six days a week?  I have been doing so for over twenty years
in this province and have yet to have a problem.

Have you considered the wishes of those who would be asked to work on
sundays whether they wish to do so?

There is a reason that sunday shopping is allowed, yet you have not
addressed in any fashion the reason for this, nor why you feel that a time
for change is here.  Question :  What will I get out of life with sunday
shopping allowed that I now do not have with sunday shopping disallowed?

>P.S. - Even Newfoundland has Sunday shopping. What's wrong with Nova Scotia!

Nothing.  What is your point?

You are posting a poorly written message with poorly stated goals.  You
are attempting to make an point by making subtly snide comments about
another province.  This method won't win you any points.  Pointing the
finger at others suggests that your cannot explain the benefits of your
own platform.  Instead of wasting my time talking about Newfoundland, tell
me about you & your point.  Why should I listen to you?  What can you say
to convince me to change my viewpoint...  Give me something solid to thing
about, not your whiny wishy washy "get with the times" slogan.

You need to explain why it is that you wish sunday shopping, why it is
that that is a good thing, and how the benefits of such a change might
outweigh the costs.  

So many people complain that they have so little time to enjoy life, that
work consumes almost all their time.  Do you think that having people work
even more than they do at present will make Nova Scotia a better place?  I
do not think so. I feel that having less free time is not a good thing. 
You say that more people should be forced more days per week, and that
here should be no day off for most workers.  I respect people's right to a
good quality of life, and can see no merit in forcing them to work another
day.  

There is much more to life than money & shopping.  Is your life so empty
that you can find nothing better to do with your time than complain about
how little time you have to shop in the run of a week?  Life's tough isn't
it!  Why don't you as you earlier suggest, move to a place where sunday
shopping is allowed, or is life here as is, better than the other side of
the fence where sunday shopping is allowed?  

Unless & until you can articulate your material demonstrably better, I can
see no reason to change my view that having no sunday shopping is a good
thing for society as a whole.

I await your response.
