Nova Scotia, WAKE UP, It's The Year Of Our Lord Two Thousand And Six!
Note to the people of Nova Scotia:
You, collectively, are a laughingstock.
This "Sunday Shopping" thing has got to be resolved already! RCMP Officers armed with measuring tapes at the local Sobey's store? What the hell are you thinking?
Get over it, the whole "day of rest" obsession makes your province look like a throwback to the Puritans. And guess what? Most Nova Scotians may say they are Christians, but how many have entered a church for a regular service in the last month, year, decade? And guess what else? Sunday is not the Sabbath for the large majority of religions in the world. Believe it or not, people, there are those who are not WASPs in Nova Scotia. Shocking, isn't it?
One can get drunk in a bar on Sundays, gamble in any of a dozen or so ways, go to moving picture shows, the track, but buy a litre of milk at Superstore? Sacrilege!
Try to remember that most Canadians west of Quebec already believe the country ends at La Belle Province. This stupid, arcane law against Sunday shopping only proves the point that parts of Atlantic Canada are so backward and out of step that the region will never catch up and be a part of Canada.
This law isn't quaint, it doesn't make Nova Scotians look charming, it makes you look like fools.

I just stumbled across this and I TOTALLY agree.
I lived 3 AGONIZING years in Nova Scotia and it's funny how they say the family matters on Sundays, but only CERTAIN families.
They don't mind if teenagers work at fast food restaurants or if uneducated people can pump their gas, as long as those who manage shops don't have to work.
Argh! Nova Scotia is the worst part of Canada.
Thanks for the random, web-based laugh!
