Gone are the days of being resourceful and finding something to do, because nothing is open. People need to work, and I realize this is an option for some but one day a week should be set aside for family time, because we have lost the spirit of family in the big business of commercialism.

The law was broken when Sunday shopping was allowed, just because big companies were bullying & lobbing for it, government didn't have to bend. Respect was lost & now people don't want to vote for representatives that have no plans to enforce this law.

L. Alfonso [Signature #69] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/14053565?utm_medium=rss I sincerely invite the NS government to take a trip to Bergen County in New Jersey as soon as they recovered from Hurricane Sandy and the other nor'easter. I want them to see why the roads there like Route 17 is such a pleasure to drive. It's because the stores except the supermarkets and drug stores (to name but two of the very few) are closed. Maybe they'll rethink about keeping Sunday Shopping in NS.

If we guarantee a 9.5% return on equity, then here's what happens.

If my neighbour is very efficient and conserves electricity, then I have to pay more so that Emera makes it's 9.5%

If I conserve electricity, then my neighbours must pay more so that Emera makes it's 9.5%

If we both conserve electricity, then Emera must raise the rates A LOT in order to make their 9.5%.

The last person left in Nova Scotia will have to pay millions for their power in order for Emera to make their 9.5%

You see how this works? The only one who wins is Emera while our province dies.

We need to back up and take a serious look at what this is doing to family values and morality to Nova Scotians. Sunday shopping seriously affects the core values of family life, as well as being a sombre detractor to and of the ethical values that we propagate as being the ideal living conditions in Nova Scotia, as being the absolute social norm that we attempt to achieve in our world image. In effect, "Canada's Ocean Playground" will soon be nothing more than another tourist trap.
