The story on the Sunday shopping brought back memories. One of the dumbest laws that should have been repealed years before it was. I knew a lot of people working in factories that worked Sundays, yet somehow people thought retail workers were too delicate to handle it.

@B_Estes_Undegöetz 9 ай бұрын

That’s not the reason. Old blue laws were to dissuade blatant shows of commercialism and consumption on “the lord’s day”. Working in a factory (which was somewhat common … like auto assembly plants … but still not a universal experience, the 7-day a week factory being the norm in Ontario was still in the future) or even an office (very uncommon … almost no office jobs were conducted on either Saturday or Sunday ) was bad enough. But IF people did have Sunday off work (a vast majority of employed people in Canada would still never have to work on a Sunday all the way up into the early 1980s), the proposal to make new laws that permitted people to go out and occupy themselves with selfish indulgent activities with no cultural value or promoting quiet relefection and rest, or promoting family togetherness in the home) like SHOPPING instead of going to Church or at the very least spending time at home with the family or doing some other less crass activity than shopping which … shopping, which only satisfied many of the cardinal sins (vanity, etc), was what the extremely “blue” socially conservative ruling class people of Canada still thought was what was best for all Canadians all the way up to the 1980s. I lived through the debate and was a young adult when finally all these restrictions were lifted. Cities in Canada once had been SO quiet on weekends compared to weekdays … and Sundays downtown Toronto was virtually empty except for people going to a movie or a restaurant or cultural or sporting events (the few there were … CFL football. NHL hockey … no MLB until 1977). Even as late as 1980 or 82 this was noticeable in Toronto. Sundays were so quiet. By the end of the 80s all those laws that limited what activities were illegal on Sunday were gone and it was a shopping free-for-all and it’s never been the same since for anyone; including working people in retail jobs who before could count on at least one shared day off with their kids and family. A big win for the capitalists in their effort to take over as the ruling class in Ontario (and by extension in ALL of English speaking Canada). A big loss as it turns out for the working class, since no effort was made to maintain the family bonds and non-shopping social activities that the Sunday shopping laws were supposed to encourage. Labor unions were also being crushed by the same group of new wanna-be leaders of the “conservative” right who felt that shopping was what people wanted and it made the rich tons of money, so just give it to them, and we’ll deal with the fallout on the working class later … hell … don’t they love shopping too instead of spending time with their families on the weekend? For decades the labor movement had been fighting for 5 day work weeks and 40 hour work weeks and lifting the laws on Sunday shopping was just the first step toward making the lowest level retail and service workers entirely fungible and unimportant members of society whos job made them entirely at the whim of their employers, and distanced them even further from the middle class and their structured workweeks and family lives. All in all it was not a win for Canadians in any way. It was a win for the rich, the owners of these retail businesses, and no one else. It put them one step closer to the path of taking over the “right” entirely on behalf of the bankers and corporate owners, and from the last holdouts of the old establishment families and their connection to the kind of social institutions that kept countries like Canada from not deteriorating into a state where the only thing shared by the average citizen was shopping and TV.

@@B_Estes_Undegöetz - Good riddance to bad trash. Also, it was the early 90's before it was repealed, I remember it because I graduated from university the same year the courts finally decided to dump this steaming pile of manure in the trash. You overromanticized this nonsense like it was a good thing; it wasn't. It was forcing people to observe the Xtian view of the world made us the laughing stock of the free world. The only time it made any sense was before Canada became really civilized and stopped employers from forcing their employees to work 7 days a week. Yes, they did work 7 days before, they just got a few hours off if they went to church. Sounds like you feel we were forced kicking and screaming into the modern world, but we weren't. Most of us, but obviously not you, really detested this law, and were glad to join the rest of the world in the 20th century. It's much better than it was before.

0:21 Why’s this shi!!y mid-size sedan car being driven around through sand dunes in the desert? Makes no sense advertising agency / commercial director … car manufacturer! Oh well. It was the 80s. It looked good. Didn’t need to make sense. My mom had this exact model car. What a thoroughly uninspiring thoughtless car. The new Gordon Gecko ruling class “greed is good” ethos has begun but the propaganda spread to the working class was always “we’ve all got to work harder and expect less”. The Reagan / Thatcher / Mulroney 1980s were already swinging into full effect when this ad was broadcast and the era of middle class savings, modest wealth, prosperity and PROGRESS from one year to to next were rapidly becoming a forgotten thing of the past by 1986. Gone was the idea that even a car should be “better” and represent “progress” from the year before, incorporating ideas of a better life for you and your family, like the North American car industry had ALWAYS sold up to and including the end of the 1970s (remember those “land yachts” made for the middle class by Buick and Cadillac and others?). Middle class peoples’ cars from all the makers all just started to all look like this P.O.S. in the commercial here, and like each others cars, and from year to year the changes just seemed to float around an average looking appearance that made no bold moves in any direction. The only exception to this was the appearance of the SUV in the 90s. But these just quickly came to all resemble each other too. Reaganism trickle down economics killed the North American ideal of middle class “progress” (and the attendant savings, and economic progress) dead in less than a decade during the 1980s (while he distracted us all with the “defeat of Communism” as of THAT made any difference to our material economic lives in North America … it didn’t … it DID make Russia available to the richest US companies to profit from and invest in, instead of supporting American workers) and we still haven’t emerged from this horrid nightmare of ruling class greed and inequality ever since this turning point decade … the worst decade … the 1980s. A last glorious gasp … that culturally reached its hedonist pinnacle in the sexiest decade ever … the 1990s. But the whole time the middle clsss was getting slowly shifted from a life based on savings and wealth to a life based on credit and debt … debt to to the richest 2% and their banks and financial institutions. And since the 1980s with the switch to credit and hard core neoliberal so-called “finance capitalism” (from the former industrial capitalism that had North America had lived off for over a century before this), the top 2% of wealth holders in the USA (it’s almost just as true in Canada and Great Britain too!) has now captured the entirety of the economic benefit of economic growth and “progress” since the 1980s. All of it!!! That’s why by even 1986 the cars were thoroughly uninspiring; Reaganomics was planned and required that the old, post-WWII ideal of middle class progress had to be killed and had already almost been killed by the end of the decade. The era of our new ruling class oligarchic (and their stolen, hidden, and hoarded) exclusive “right” to the benefits of “progress” had begun. That’s what I see when I watch this car commercial from a Canadian news broadcast from 1986. Time for the working people of North America to take back the right to economic progress again and get out from under the debt to the 2% we’ve been systematically forced into living with. Democracy holds the key to beginning to repair this economic injustice. Don’t throw away your democracy by failing to recognize who your genuine ECONOMIC ally is in the upcoming struggle.
