PEI Tories table an opposition bill to allow Sunday shopping year around in PEI

The PEI Tories table an opposition bill to allow Sunday shopping year around in PEI. Opposition leader Olive Crane plans to introduce a private members bill. Private members bills rarely pass into law. Tonight premier Robert Ghiz on an interview on ATV suggested that he may let this go to a vote in the legislature. It's really easy to pass the buck Mr. Premier isn't it? Didn't you promise Prince Edward Islanders no Sunday shopping for half a year? I've lost all faith in politicians because they rarely keep any promises. It figures, that a Tory (Olive Crane)would want to get stores open in PEI, as we had one here in Nova Scotia ( Rodney MacDonald that lied to all of us.)
How can other people make decisions on what suits other people? Retail workers clearly pointed out that they do not want year around Sunday shopping. I have to wonder what dirty deals are going on here? We had all kinds of dirty deals in Nova Scotia to allow Sunday shopping.
Folksl greed is hurting the little guy. How about speaking up to your premier! Those of you who are remaining silent are guilty as well. We do not treat the Blacks , Gays or French or straight people in a bad way. But we expect retail workers many of them making a minimum wage to work on Sundays even if they are against this and even if they don't believe in working on Sundays. Are we that brainwashed by the media that we can not see what's going on here? Retail workers are human beings and they are not being treated like human beings that have their own beliefs . Think about it people! How would you like it if these politicians were deciding what you do on Sundays?
Prince Edward Island's government gave Islanders a family day. How can a province turn around and take 26 Sunday's considered family days away? Gave them one and turn around and take 26 of them away.
What really gets me is the line being used by the media that PEI is the last place to have Sunday shopping. We were told that line in Nova Scotia. They are being told that line in Manitoba.
There's no Sunday shopping in Steinbach city . But we are told that PEI is the last place to have Sunday shopping. The media is being paid to convince you that Sunday shopping is the best thing to hit PEI.
One of Crane's comments and well rehearsed I'm sure is, "We're introducing this to give people a choice," the Progressive Conservative leader said. "This will be an option for businesses that want to be open on Sunday to be open on Sunday, like every other province.How many of you really believe that it's about choice? That retail workers won't be forced or bullied into working on Sundays? Can't you see beyond the fog bank?
These politicians are being pushed by business to allow them to be open on Sundays at the employee's expense. The same people who earned money for the employers to have them turn around and take there Sundays from them.
What do we have a government for? To collect all of our money so they can waste it? What about the minimum wage ? Should we do away with that law also? Don't be so gullible, the choice word is actually being used to take choice away from Mothers and Fathers who want to be home on Sundays with their children. We don't force letter carriers to work on Sundays because ministers do.
Don't let this government and the media convince you that you have to have Sunday shopping. Contact you're MLA and tell them No. While you are at it, ask them if the legislature is going to sit on Sundays?
