Canada

I went to high school in Norwich so I’ve spent a fair amount of time there, although not in well over a decade. There are definitely a lot of religious people there and the community definitely feels split in two in some ways. There is a very similar feel in nearby communities like Otterville and Burgessville. That being said this article makes it seem like there is a war going on but they more or less just seem like normal small towns if you were to visit. It’s not like people are being harassed in public and they’re miserable places.

That being said the closing on Sundays thing is real. I’ve heard of the pressure from the religious community to close on Sundays from people who have owned businesses on Main St.
