NEWS VIEWPOINT Sunday panic The decision by the provincial government to leave the highly charged question of Sunday shopping to be resolved on a local basis by plebiscites in individual municipalities has raised a storm of protest. Victoria is accused of shirking its respon- sibilities. Fears are expressed that merchants in a municipality that rejects Sunday shopping will lose business to a neighboring municipality where the stores are open all Sunday. Widespread chaos is predicted. We think the protesters are panicking a little -- that they underrate the genuine differences in local conditions and the in- telligence of the public. In practice, North Shore residents -- to take just one example -- can already buy many items in Vancouver and Burnaby on Sunday which can’t be bought in their own community on that day. There's no suggestion that North Shore merchants are facing mass bankruptcies as a result. What may suit a “dormitory” community like West Van could be unfairly restrictive in a tourist- ‘oriented municipality like North Van City. What's good for Vernon is not necessarily good for Vancouver. Above all, we suggest that local residents are quite mature enough to act in accordance with their convictions -- a fact that would automatically protect merchants in municipalities that turn down Sunday shopping. In any event, we believe communities themselves should freedom of choice. An idea worth trying might be to allow merchants to open or stay closed as they wished for eight or nine Sundays before each local plebiscite is held. THAT ensure the right answers.
