Evil walks up the earth and it sticks to city streets it seems. Nova Scotia, land of my upbringing if not my birth, has rejected Sunday shopping, with Halifax being overwhelmingly in favour and the country and towns saying no. This would drive me mental. I go to church. I go to Sobeys. What is the big thing? What business is it of yours if you prefer to stay home while I buy a bookshelf or a tire or, heaven forbid, wine for my mother's roast?

- Articles for the sister station, A Good Beer Blog.
- Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.

- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

But, given that every jurisdiction in North America but NS allows it, what is the big thng? Is it the same thing that kept self-serve gas out for a decade? A phoney baloney nod to the working stiff? Is that all? I thought it was the Valley Baptists.

God - not another self-titled anonymizer. <p>At least with the joy of WhoIs, I can confirm that you are not SayNay in Peterborough, but an Aliant jockey somewhere in the Maritimes and looks like "onlinesupport-47.islandtelecom.com" according to a reverse DNS look up.

Ye'em and your point? I'm still waiting for your comment on the sunday shopping election me friend? By waiting for your comment, I mean how you think the results I posted are strong enough
to be considered "overwhelmingly".
