Post by Jason B. »

There is a television news report from 1986 posted to YouTube about a Sunday store closing law in the province of Ontario, Canada that many chain grocers were defying. Timothy May reported from Ottawa. A manager of Dominion Stores (Rheal St. Pierre) is interviewed. Sue Lebrun of People Against Sunday Shopping (PA$$) defends the Sunday closing law. The interiors of grocery stores are shown. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx7HVRrbJuw
