As a teenager with a part time job at a retail outlet, I can definitely say
I do NOT want Sunday Shopping.  It would take away what is pretty much my
only free day of the week, and the fact remains that it is not a necessity.
There are many people out there who actually value their free time, and have
the patience to wait an extra day to go out and buy something instead of
robbing others of their one day off a week.

So what?


How do we expect to

Hmmm I don't know...but I've noticed the population is starting to grow
quite a bit.  Lots of new places in Bayers Lake and near Mic Mac Mall.  If
you get the Mail-Star read their feature article for the next week or so on
how the population here is growing at an alarming rate and that our streets
can't handle the new found traffic.

Who says we want it?  I sure don't want it.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be compared to Newfoundland.

I left Nova Scotia 9 years ago to come to Ottawa.  We have shopping 7
days a week here.  Hell, if I want I can go around the corner to Sobeys
at 3 in the morning and pickup whatever I want.

It's convenient for us, but if it went away tomorrow I would not mind.

There's too much money grubbing going on and not enough time to enjoy
life.

Brad

We don't need sunday shopping, we aren't the USA ya know... our life doesn't
revolve around shopping does it??
Besides, its one day that we don't feed commercialism, which is good because
it reduces garbage, traffic, gas consumption, air pollution, bitchiness,
stress, etc...... want me to go on???
The ONLY good thing that could come of sunday shopping is that i'm sure lots
of students wouldn't mind earning a few extra bucks after spending all their
money on liquor the night before...
oh then again, we're all hung over :)

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

>How do we expect to attract people to move to our province when we are so far behind the

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.

     Dave.

I moved to HFX about a year ago 'cause there was no Sunday shopping..

It give me a day where i can just relax with the kids.. No hassles with
lines at the store, no traffic on the road, No stress.. I just hate Sunday
shopping..

Oh and thanks for the emails addresses! I'll let them know to keep it as it
is!

Ah, welcome to usenet in Nova Scotia, where all the sticks emerge from
the mud long enough to decry any change to our society that would
benefit us.

Don't want to work on Sunday? Then don't. It's easy. Just say no. God
forbid that we should give ourselves an opportunity to create some new
employment in this province. After all, the last thing many Nova
Scotians want is a job.

Want to spend quality time with the family you say? Great. Maybe you
can go to the Casino. Or a restaurant, or even a bar. Go to the
movies. Go to a bookstore. Or a souvenir shop. You can even go buy a
new mobile home for the family. Just don't go to Wal-Mart or Sobey's.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Oh, but we're _different_ than all those other heathen provinces that
allow their citizens to actually buy things on Sunday, you say. It
makes us *special*.

Yeah, we're different all right. The laughingstock of North America. A
backwater populated by a bunch of hicks that doesn't know what's good
for them. A stupid province that has an opportunity to help itself out
but instead prefers to go begging cap in hand to Ottawa pleading for
more handouts.

Even sleepy old PEI, even formerly laughable Nfld, even pathetic old
NB has it. But this province chooses to protect a small minority of
retail workers in certain types of stores for reasons that make
absolutely no sense, while denying citizens a choice of where to spend
their money and how to live their lives.

And if you're not of the Christian faith, and Sunday isn't your day of
worship, tough shit. You're not really one of us anyway, are you? You
sure as hell can't trace your origins back to Scotland, and that's
really all that matters in this province.

Fortunately, this govt finally seems to have realized that their
present position on Sunday shopping can cost them the next election.
They will be making an announcement this fall. The only thing you can
count on is that it won't go far enough.

My argument is that all you people who are so against Sunday shopping are
the ones buying gas on Sunday, going to Tim Hortons on sunday, going to
Shoppers Drug Mart or Lawtons on sunday, the fruit stand out Bedford on
Sunday, flea markets on sundays, restaurants on sunday and so on.  What is
so different than these places?

It is still Sunday shopping if you buy gas or a pack of smokes right?
Exactly!!!  We all shop on sunday.  Everyone of us have in our lives.  So
what's the big deal.  If gas stations, restaurants can stay open than the
bigger stores can also.

My problem is that I do not at all enjoy being told by anyone what I can do
on a Sunday.  I can do whatever the hell I want on any day.  I can even
murder someone (example) if I want to .  No one can tell me what I can or
cannot do, but by having the government tell I can't do this that or the
other thig because it's Sunday is not right.

What if I do not believe in god, jesus, or that frigger satan?  So what.
Just because you believe in god or jesus doesn't mean you can call the shots
for me and others.  There are so many people out there who will argue the
day of rest thing.  Well let me tell you there are 7 days in a week, and
usually 365 days in a year and I don't get a break.  I really don't.

So what's the big deal with some of you so dead against sunday shopping?  If
you are a fan of jesus, god or whoever and you want a day of rest than have
you sunday day of rest and don't go shopping .  Some of you who enjoy Friday
or Saturday as your day of rest ...........well fine for you.  You do thigs
your way and I should be able to do things my way.  It's like the old saying
goes if you don't wanna go there than don't go there, if you want to jump
off the MacDonald bridge than shit man go ahead and jump off the bridge.
Just don't tell me I have to do it with you.

Thanks for listening and reading

Your only reason for moving here was No Sunday shopping. ?
You could not enjoy your children where you were knowing Sunday shopping was
in progress ?
You complain of the Sunday traffic so I assume you were out shopping and not
at home relaxing with the family.
When something happens here you do not like such as beer sales at the corner
store will you move again.

Choice is Democracy
Sunday shopping Yes if you wish (choice)
Church tax deductions NO (separation of church and state)
(All people must pay in higher taxes to cover religious deductions.
Religion is a choice, one we all should not have to pay for.

But the fact of the matter is that it's not just religious reasons that make
people against Sunday shopping.  It's laso the fact that some people
literally would have to work every waking minute.  Yes, it's a lazy as hell
attitude, but it's the truth, I don't want to spend an extra day at my job
just because some dipshit wants their next impulse buy a day earlier.  Shop
on the days of the week you're allotted, and be thankful you get them.  It's
not a right to shop 7 days a week, and it's really not necessary.  In fact,
I find this whole topic to be nothing more than a group of 3 year olds
whining to their mommy (the government) that they can't have their next toy
the second they want it.  Have some compassion for students who work their
asses off.

Kyle,
Not sure if you know this , but if there were Sunday shopping in this
backwards province than each worker can refuse to work on sunday without
penalty.  I don't think you knew this.  Go ahead and say "yeah then my boss
will find a reasont o fire me. "  No he/she wouldn't because there are
people out there (students included) would would work on a sunday ina
heartbeat. HEy maybe it would slowly get people off of welfare or EI.
Youmention that it is not right to work 7  days a week.  Who are you to say
that?  Are you my supreme god or boss?  Who are you to it's not right to
shop 7 days a week.  Man you shop on sundays and don't deny it.  If you
don't now then you have in the past.  Ever buy a bag of chips or a bar on a
sunday ehen you were a kid?  Also if you find this is a topic for a group of
3 year olds to respond then why did you respond?  Why didn't you take the
attitude that hey if I don't want to shop on sunday then I won't  or if I
don't want to jump off the bridge with my best friend then I won't.  So why
did you respond and put yourself in this so called category of a whining 3
year old running mommy?

As for you student comment.  I have compassion for students who work.  I
really do.  When you have mommy or daddy paying for the whole shot while you
(not you) are out drinking your face off every single weekend then you don't
have my compassion when your GPA is a solid 2.00.  I have been there for 4
years at university so I know what it's like not to get help.  Not a single
student loan.  Everything paid on my Visa during school and paid off during
the summer and school year.  I worked an average of 24 hours a week while at
school for 4 years.  No student loans nothing.  There are students out there
who would kill for a sunday shift at any retail outlet in Halifax.  Don't
tell there aren't!!!

> Your only reason for moving here was No Sunday shopping. ?

--- Well, the topic was Sunday shopping and not "why i moved to HFX, NS"..
So i stated one of the reasons why i moved here and not all.

> You could not enjoy your children where you were knowing Sunday shopping
was
> in progress ?

--- I enjoy my boys 7 days a week regardless of what people do. It just
makes it a nice day to hang with the kids is all.

Wrong.. You assumed.. I do go out for BBQ at Friends places, to the beach,
to my lot to pick blueberries...... I still have a life dude and it doesn't
have to revolve around spending money at Future shop...

> When something happens here you do not like such as beer sales at the

:) I'm into beer sales at the corner stores... When and why i do things are
my problems.. However, if everywhere was the exact same then life would be
boring, wouldn't it?

>

Sure, its a choice...

> Church tax deductions NO (separation of church and state)

What does church have to do with Sunday shopping?

> (All people must pay in higher taxes to cover religious deductions.
> Religion is a choice, one we all should not have to pay for.

Again... What does this have to do with Sunday shopping..

Frank!

well put.. its always about greed, and wanting to get something the second
they can get it...
I LIKE SUNDAYS because they are unlike any day of the week.. They are
relaxing!!!!! no traffic, no one is in a hurry (except to get to church
maybe), its really great!
God did say that we shouldn't have to work on sunday, and thats like the
best thing that God could tell us isn't it?? not working!!?  yeah it is..
So.... TODAY IS SUNDAY!!! I think I'll go walk down the street and be cheery
and say hi to some people who are also cheery.  Hey guess what?  I don't
even have to shower today if i dont want to :P
Try that any other day heh.

Screw Sunday shopping.. no place in the world should shop on sundays...  so
why don't all you pro-sunday shoppers go support your local greedy
corporation, and help put a LITTLE MORE gas in their SUV's and so on...
Don't give corporate big shots more money than they already have...
If you want to shop on sundays reaaaal badly, then go to the States... you
will love it there for about 3 weeks, and then it will get pretty boring
rather quickly... same old repetitive commercialism down there.. its gets
real annoying the amount of SPAM your senses receive down there.
