Our Side of the Mountain
I think that in the province of Nova Scotia Sunday shipping should be optional. I just don’t get the big deal the world is not going to come to an end because we open Wal-Mart Sunday afternoon.
We open Shoppers, corner stores, Blockbuster, Mc Donald’s and all the other fast food industries and restaurants every Sunday, as well as the hospitals. Police and firemen are still expected to work. We even make the priests get themselves out of bed early Sunday mornings, to preach about God. You would think that if God was really into this day of rest thing that the government is trying to feed us, His own people could get Sunday off too.
I just don’t understand why we are the only province that still has the Sunday shopping ban in effect. Look at Ontario and New Brunswick, they have Sunday shopping and God has not cursed them with plagues and locusts. No, God has blessed them with Sunday shopping.
