Proposal to change Sunday shopping hours in Winnipeg
http://www.saveoursundays.ca/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=181
I can remember back in 2004 before the plebiscite on Sunday shopping ,we were told that we were the last province in Nova Scotia to have Sunday shopping. Needless to say, Prince Edward Island was also being fed that same exact line by the media, which promotes business. After all, who advertises with them? It's something we all should be thinking about.In Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce is pushing the government to loosen up the laws on Sunday shopping. The store hours are limited on Sunday and they are being told when they have to close?

One has to wonder why is it any business of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce to decide when stores should open? Are they open on Sunday? Can retail staff decide when the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce can have their family day? Most important to note is who is backing the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce? Really think about it. Isn't it being pushed by big business?
All you hear is about the money that is being lost and the guilt trip being put on the general public to accept this nonsense. Millions have been spent by business using our media to convince you that Sunday shopping is the best thing to hit this nation. Deciding when one sector can open or close? How is this a democracy when you can decide when retail workers have their family day? Can they decide when yours is? Lets think about this ! NO would be the answer that comes to mind.
Let's not forget the environment, you only hear the media promote it for big business! We don't hear them promoting store closures on Sunday. Why not? Look at the cars that wouldn't be driving a extra day! Look at the lights that would be off in all these business' if stores were closed. Our media is not getting paid to promote the environment or they would be suggesting store closures on Sunday. You cannot believe everything you watch on TV. Take for instance the war over in Iraq. Remember the weapons of mass destruction? Where are the weapons of mass destruction? When money is involved you can bet one thing. Family life is not being promoted. Our environment is not being promoted. Come on Canada wake up , we are being lead down the drain. The love of money is the root of all evils. Since Sunday shopping was introduced or should I say forced down our throats, nothing has gotten any better in Nova Scotia or anywhere else in this country. Wake up Canada!!
German court enforces day of rest

Fantastic News, German Court Enforces Day of Rest. Isn't it about time? If we do not enforce a tax law no one would pay taxes. If we do not enforce holiday pay, business' would not pay out holiday pay. You have to have laws in a society to help those who cannot help themselves.In Germany, 16 states have already made some exceptions allowing stores to open a few Sundays a year, while ignoring the fact that Germany's constitution protects workers from working on Sundays and Holidays.
We applaud the Courts decision which will help those mothers and fathers who would be forced to work with stores open on Sundays. We can learn from the Germans who consider Sunday a day of rest.
Also for the most part, the media in Germany is supporting the recent courts decision to close stores on Sunday. Lets hope that other countries will follow Germany's lead. We have so much in society to offer. Let's offer a day of rest, to our own families and our own country.

Good News Sunday Shopping Banned in Croatia
http://www.saveoursundays.ca/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=76
What fantastic news! No Sunday shopping, and it took the catholic church to pressure government to see this happen. Sadly it had to be the government in Croatia that banned Sunday shopping. Why is it that our government officials want Sunday shopping?
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=5378375
Why is it that our government officials want to give the box stores what they want, when they want it? Someone has to show some responsibility to those who can not look out for themselves. Nothing can be done without government legislation. So many people think that government laws infringe on freedom of rights..but it infringes on those who don't want to work on Sunday. Laws that are imposed by the Croatia government protect retail workers and management that wouldn't have a choice if wide open Sunday shopping is allowed. Have you ever heard of the comment that you can not "legislate common sense"? We have litter laws in our country and there are laws with fines that punish people for littering. With out a litter law, one has to wonder how many people would use common sense and not litter? Just like retail stores, how many of them would use common sense and close down on Sunday? The evidence is right in front of all of us to see. Retail stores won't close down on Sunday or any other day unless they are legislated to do so. Hats off to Croatia, it's about time someone leads the way. Families should be a top priority! Our environment should be another top priority. Let encourage other countries to follow suit. We will be better for it.
