Wal-Mart extending store hours during Easter holiday
The Truro Daily News
TRURO – The Truro Wal-Mart is one of 175 stores in the chain to extend its holiday shopping hours.
To help last-minute shoppers prepare for the holiday, the earliest Easter since 1818, Wal-Mart Canada is extending its holiday hours in nearly 60 per cent of its locations.
“We expect to see more last-minute shopping this year and are responding to customer need,” said Jim Thompson, Wal-Mart Canada’s senior vice president of operations.
Stores will be open two extra hours; one hour early (7 a.m.) and closing later (11 p.m.) on Thursday, March 20 and Saturday, March 22.
This is the first time the company has introduced extended Easter store hours. In recent years, Wal-Mart Canada has tested extended hours during busy retail periods such as Christmas and back-to-school.
Easter is the Number 2 holiday for food spending and confectionery purchases and the third busiest shopping time of the year.

I do the same on this one but obviously he has some sort of racket going on and it does nothing.

Noob. That should take 10 mins tops!

You probably already were, so I don’t think it’ll help much.

A good bunch of those probably just downmodded it because they don’t like articles about people whinging.

You’re not ignoring those “facts”, you just don’t want to talk about them because they don’t have a strong base in factual reality.Ron Paul is not a racist, he is an individualist, he does not see people in groups of black, white, man, woman, gay, straight etc but as individuals who all have the right to liberty.Abortion is not a right, he believes abortion is murder. This is a debate for a whole other thread.Can you show me the relevant quote where he supports Creationism? I’ve seen him questioning the theory of evolution, but it’s not fair to make him default to the other.Austrian: How does that make him crazy?Illness: Where does he say that?Church and state, you’re misinterpreting him. In his infamous “War on Religion” piece he was talking about how the left is removing cultural icons like Christmas trees, Santa Claus and snowmen from the public view.He most certainly does not believe in the “NWO conspiracy theories”, though some of his supporters may and may try to make him look bad. It depends on what you consider a conspiracy, too. There are organizations out there who think global government would be the best thing for the world, this is not something being planned completely in private. Ron Paul believes in American Soverignty, so he is opposed to the NAFTA Superhighway, managed trade agreements and other things.What is the “IB”? Expand that acronym for me, and bring me records of him saying that it is UN mind control.
