While drunk drivers are crusing the city streets, while
husbands a beating on their wife, while pushers are selling
dope to our kids, what do the Ontario law enforcement agencies
do ? They charge shops for opening on Sundays !!

How many times have I started to fix something in the house
and find myself short of 6ft of 14 gage wire with no way to
get some until the next day. Both my wife and I work M-F 8-5.
We couldn't care less for the shops opening during these hours.

How can you justify, in a city like Ottawa or Toronto, where
most of its work-force are white colar workers with similar
working hours and often both men and women working, the forced
closing of stores on Sundays ???

Ottawa stores are closed M-W at 5pm. Nepean (south of Ottawa) has
extended shopping hours M-W 'til 9pm. Seeing how many people
take advantage of those extended hours makes you wonder why
stores cannot open on Sundays as well...And it's d*mn frustating
to constantly having to remember that a particular store is north
of baseline road thus closed at 5pm!!

I hope sunday shopping will be an issue at the next provincial
and municipal elections !!
