Many Ontario MPPs claim to be Christian. But few of them stand up for the values which must underlie any decent society. None of them have protested against the Peterson-Caplan abortion policies and only one of them Hans Daigeler (Nepean) who absented himself, lifted a finger to prevent the passage of the Sunday shopping bill, which went ahead despite the massive evidence that the public did not want it and that it would undermine the welfare of the family.
The following Ontario MPPs – all liberal – voted in favour of the Sunday shopping law proposed by the government of Premier David Peterson.
The legislation passed on February 7, 1989 leaves it to the municipalities to decide whether or not to allow shopping on Sunday.
