Sunday laws in Ontario in 1911.
In early 20th-century Ontario, specifically regarding 1911 Sunday laws (also known as "blue laws" or "Sunday closing laws"), the word "labor" was frequently spelled without the 'u' ("labor" instead of "labour") due to a combination of American influence, cost-saving printing practices, and earlier variations in British/Australian spelling. While "labour" is the standard Canadian spelling today, the American spelling "labor" was common in many Canadian newspapers and legal documents from the 1970s and before.
