Majority of Nova Scotians support a tainted government?

Can you imagine the power of the media? Over and over they kept telling us that we were the last place to have Sunday shopping and how good it would be for us to have it? Our government lied to the people of this province and the media misled Nova Scotians into believing that the courts struck down the ban on Sunday shopping. I do have to give credit where credit is due. The Progress Bulletin has printed every letter that I have written to the papers. A local radio talk show ( NEWS95.7FM) has also let me voice my opinion on radio about the lies that were told to Nova Scotians. I've sent several letters about this into the Halifax Herald, to CBC, ATV and Global (Ignored). If we live in a democracy like so many of you believe, why isn't my voice being heard? Why isn't the 96 people on our petition being heard? Shouldn't this ring bells people?

The spending scandal that is taking place in Ottawa has everyone's attention and it's well publicized on radio, TV and in the newspapers. The taxpayer's money that has been stolen and wasted  is inexcusable. Yet, when I sit back and watch the news, I wonder what about the Sunday shopping scandal? The secret that the media doesn't want you to know about! The months of brainwashing you to think that it's something you have to have? The argument they used with you is that word called choice. Choice is a word that was used with the media for big business. Choice was never given to the workers and the shoppers to have one day of break from commercialism. 

The Retail Uniform Business Act did just that. It gave us a break from it all. Do the majority of people support Sunday shopping?  I'm not sure if this is the case, because we were never given another chance to vote in another plebiscite. Our government didn't honor the last plebiscite, so honoring another plebiscite would not happen unless it was in the governments favor. Let's say the majority of Nova Scotians support a tainted government? The majority has been wrong before. We have voted for the PC's , Liberals, and New Democrats and  find our selves voting for a new party every four to eight years.  The majority has been wrong on a number of occasions and the Sunday shopping scandal is another prime example.  To those of you who are a minority against Sunday shopping, here is a quote, something to think about -  "Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.❞ -Mahatma Gandhi

The truth is the truth. So why are we covering it up? We are not letting Mike Duffy,  Pamela Wallin get away with wasting tax payers money. What an out rage ah? Because it's on TV, Radio and in the newspapers? But an issue that is equally important, a democratic vote that was binding and never honored the media says nothing and we say nothing. Does it have to be on TV or Radio to make us outraged? Are we sheep? Are we people that can't stand up for right and what's wrong without having the media control us like sheep? We are sending a terrible message to our young people.  Sending a message that we support "Tainted Governments". We are sending messages to our children that we can not make decisions for ourselves with out TV and radio controlling us.

Remembrance day is almost upon us. Soldiers that have died for us to have freedoms, people who died for us so that we could have a government to make laws and protect us. People get confused when they hear...I should be able to shop when I want and work when I want to. That argument is only used against retail workers who are pressured to work on Sundays.  You never hear that argument used to open up government offices on a Sunday and give choices to those workers who want to work on Sundays. I never hear any complaints from them , wanting to work Sundays do you? We do not hear an out cry from letter carriers wanting to deliver mail on Sundays. I don't. I do not blame them for wanting time off to spend with loved ones. We have become too addicted to shopping and to addicted to the media for information that isn't always the truth. If you continue to support a tainted government, you have no right to complain about them or their actions.   A letter writer in a local paper has it right on about our tainted government - http://www.southshorenow.ca/en/20131002/Letters/14910/Think-hard-before-you-vote.htm
When will you wake up and realize the mistakes we have all made by saying nothing? By supporting a lie and ignoring it?

Sunday shopping has hurt us more than just shopping

After the killings in Connecticut, I have been really thinking. What's wrong with our society? What are we lacking? I cannot imagine killing my mother, let alone even thinking about it. It's sad so many innocent kids, were killed that never had a chance in life to live and grow and prosper. Mothers and fathers will never get over this loss and my heart goes out to each and every one of those families. It seems like we are headed down a road of a society that's heading for a collapse! Love, caring and sharing isn't taught any more, unless it's taught by a very few minority of parents out there. There's a lot more of " If it doesn't effect me, I don't care" attitude. How many of you notice that everything has changed? For example go across a cross walk, and see how many people give you the eye like they are thinking " why are you on the cross walk? I want to get by". Instead of being nice to the walker and letting them cross with out getting an evil eye. Some of them will try to run you over, so be careful.

One person told me that he loves to shop on Sunday. That same person works Monday to Friday. Another example of someone who does not care because it does not effect him.  How about those Black Friday specials at Walmart, where people will trample you to death, just to get a special. Is this normal folks? I also notice a serious trend, that did not happen years ago, when families spent time together. Kids would actually spend lots of time with their mom and dad and grandparents. Not today, an overwhelming number of them spend less time with mom and dad. What about their grandparents? It's about the same, no time is spent with them either. I have never fought Sunday shopping as a religious issue. Since those killings in Connecticut, I can see what we are missing. Churches teach love, caring and sharing and since the push to get churches and God out of our lives it's pretty obvious we are on a downhill slide and headed for a major crash. Sure there were church ministers that were child molesters . This turned a lot of people off of religion. We can not blame all church ministers for a few bad apples. Churches teach kids to love and care about other people. This isn't happening now! At one time, Sundays were considered the day of rest. Moms and Dads could attend church services because they were not working. But not now. Workers that did go to church caved into working on Sunday because they fear of not moving up the ladder and to get promoted. The sad part is that people get tied up in working and even shopping not realizing what's really going on? It's not just about shopping! It's about love, caring and sharing that's being taught at churches.

 

But today less people are attending church and their kids are spending Sunday at the mall, buying video games instead of learning about love, caring and sharing. We are missing all of this ! It's obvious by so many situations that's happening right in front of us.  So many examples and we still don't see the light. Why is it that we always hear that religion causes wars? Yes religions have caused wars, BUT so has our governments and we have not given up on them. They tell us you can't teach morality. Why not? You have to teach your kids right from wrong. Sure there are good parents out in our society, but it seems there are less of them these days. To have a world with people that actually care about one another, we have to accept churches back into our lives so that we can build a strong future with love, caring and sharing. If it's not going to be the churches then who? What organization will do it? Will our government teach us about love and caring about one another? Seriously folks, it's not just about shopping! When we start caring and only then, we will have a society to be proud of. A common day off is seriously needed. Teaching our young people about love, caring and sharing is so important. But let's go even further by treating your elders with respect and not forgetting about spending time with those people whom you love.  We used to do all of these things on a Sunday. We are missing that in our lives. Our addictions to shopping, our addictions to that sugar and alcohol that we must go and get on a Sunday. Because we are used to it!  When are we going to wake up as a society and see the slippery slope? How many churches speak about the Sabbath any more? Are they scared of offending people? Whether it's Saturday or Sunday, a day off is needed for our kids for today and tomorrow for our society to grow and prosper . For love , caring and sharing to spread all over the world. How about joining our facebook page and supporting Save Our Sundays?http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Our-Sundays/102221753225986?sk=info

Together we can spread the words... Love , Caring and sharing. This is what we are missing in so many ways. Let's do it before we lose it all. It's all in front of us, the down hill slope! The love of money is the root of all evils and it's pretty obvious that this is the case. How many companies care about family life? How many of them close on Sundays? If it's not legislated it won't happen. If it were not law, we would not pay taxes either. Think about this, our government protects water ways, lands and even has laws about littering. One of the most important elements in life ...our families and we don't protect them. Sundays were the foundation where our kids were taught how to love and care about other people. Money and those with power and greed are destroying our planet. Even the environment has taken the back seat. So many things we don't seem to care about any more. Come on Nova Scotia, wake up! Can't you see what we have lost? A lot.
