Nova Scotia had a referendum and the concept of Sunday shopping was defeated. I suspect, considering the debate, that these reasons were the major ones.....Minimum wage employees would have no choice but to work on Sunday. It was hurt small, independant business and the only people to benefit would be latge US chains such as wal mart.
   Personally, I see no need whatever to have seven days a week of connsumerism..I am glad it was a referendum, at least it was democatically decided. And Doug, it has a great deal to do with everybody else...does it not.
