All, FPO Featured

Sep 011990

AUDIO – DESCRIPTION:
As the Ontario general election of September 6, 1990 approached CBC’s “Radio Noon” program interviewed then Freedom Party leader, Robert Metz.

NOTE: the quality of the recording, on the original cassette tape, was quite poor and hissy. An effort has been made to remove hiss and improve the audibility of the voices. If not a sonically-pleasing recording, the words spoken are nonetheless discernable, and the recording serves its essential purpose as an historical record.

Jul 061990

AUDIO – DESCRIPTION:

On June 22, 1990, an Ontario High Court trial judge released his decision in the case of Peel (Regional Municipality) v. Great Atlantic & Pacific Co. of Canada Ltd.. The court declared Ontario’s Retail Business Holidays Act (which banned most retail sales on Sundays) unconstitutional because, it found, the Act was contrary to the religious freedom provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The decision was overturned by the Ontario Court of Appeal on March 20, 1991 but, in the meantime, many retail stores began opening their doors on Sundays.

FM 96’s John Boles reported on what was expected to happen when London stores opened on Sunday, July 8, 1990. Ron Logan of the Patton’s Place furniture store (a long time opponent of Sunday Shopping) and Robert Metz (President of Freedom Party of Ontario, which long advocated choice) were interviewed.
