Boxing Day News

Several retailers face fines for their infractions against Boxing Day by-laws in many Canadian cities. With Boxing Day falling on Sunday this year, many stores had to wait until noon to open their doors to consumers, this in appliance with Sunday shopping laws. While some rebellious store owners got a jump on Boxing Day sales by opening their doors early and reaping the benefits. John LeClaire, manager of Canadian Eagle Outfitters, said "Screw the silly law, eh" he went on to say, "You tell those hosers that were trying to make a few looneys around here, eh and if I can sell 20 parkas before the next store, then I will. I mean what are they gonna do, send some Mounties down here to shoot me? No, because they don't have any guns, eh." But opening early didn't mean that much to some customers. Phil Hansen, of Toronto, waited outside The Curling Store in a line for 2 hours to score a great deal on a new curling pot and a couple of nice brooms, "I got this pot here and a these brooms for aboot 300 dollars, eh". When we asked the original price of his purchase, he scratched his head and said, "I don't really know, eh. Let's go get a Moltson and a jelly-filled". Obviously, Boxing Day by-laws don't prohibit Canadians from drinking at any time of the day.
