If you’ve ever had a cheeseburger delivered in the middle of the night, you might find it hard to believe there was a time when shopping on Sundays was against the law. But back in 1982, a plucky Calgary drugstore decided to flout that law, got slapped with a ticket and inadvertently changed the way Canadians shop, forever.
Host Falen Johnson and journalist Allison Dempster bring us the story of R. v.
