Nova Scotia Sunday shopping referendum, 2004
A referendum on Sunday shopping was held on October 16, 2004 (to coincide with municipal elections) in Nova Scotia. The vote was 54.90% for the "no" side, meaning that a Sunday shopping ban remained in place.
The issue pitted the municipality of Halifax against smaller towns and rural municipalities where many older residents favoured the ban.〔(Nova Scotians vote against Sunday shopping ) USA Today〕
==Issues==
Opponents of the ban said that Sunday shopping should be allowed in order for consumers to have a choice and to keep up with the times. They also argued it would provide a $19 million annual boost to the economy. Supporters of the ban campaigned under the slogan "Dare to be Different" and stated that the province's laid-back character was at stake. They argued the province should take a stand against the tide of materialism they see as sweeping North America.〔
