Ghiz says no to year-round Sunday shopping

Recent news out of Prince Edward Island is a small victory for Mothers and Fathers of the province , Ghiz says no to year-round Sunday shopping . Can you imagine another premier refusing to tag along with the rest of the country? I would be so proud to call myself an Islander, to have a premier stick to his principals not to allow year around Sunday shopping in Prince Edward Island. It would be even better if he banned Sunday shopping all together.Comments from the Guardian web site in PEI " wonder if those people screaming for some stores to stay shuttered on Sunday would agree that fast food joints, family restaurants, the library, tourist areas, gas stations, video rental places etc also remain closed. Those are the places most people go to on Sundays - even those who want other stores closed. By the way even clergy work on Sunday. "

I have always loved these arguments and if you take notice these comments are never directed at the millions of people that are off on Sundays and that use these services on Sundays. Do letter carriers or our MLA's feel guilty because other people work on Sundays? Should bank employees work on Sundays because ministers do? Should we all be French because some people speak French? Should we all be gay because some people are gay? We are all different! Why should other people that do not work in retail decide whether stores open or not? Let's get real! How is this even considered a democracy when it's all one sided? Can we decide when letter carriers, bank employees, MLA's, Premier, Mayor's etc work on Sundays?? We have a long way to go in this society if we continue punishing retail workers for something they don't want and that's Sunday shopping. Congratulations Premier Ghiz for saying no. The next step is to ban Sunday shopping all together. Be leaders Premier Ghiz, don't punish people because they are different.
