Prince Edward Island is currently in the middle of a debate about allowing Sunday shopping all year round. Opposition leader Olive Crane launched a private members' bill calling for ending restrictions that prohibit Sunday opening between Christmas and Victoria Day. After appearing on a local TV show Monday Crane slipped on the set of the program and hurt her ankle. During debate on Thursday transportation minister Ron Mackinley implied the accident might be a punishment from God. If so that would be so typical of the Supreme Being. He's always doing stuff like punishing people for minor changes he doesn't like and making the face of the Virgin Mary appear in oil spots in parking lots. Yet he never seems to do worthwhile things like making the entire leadershp of North Korea drop dead for that mess they caused this week.
Of course if you believe certain religions Olive Crane is doing the right thing. After all they don't believe that Sunday is a godly day, but Saturday, or Friday. Perhaps Mr. Mackinley better watch himself in case they're right and good ole arbitrary God decides to punish him for opposing Sunday opening.
