Loblaws is the largest grocery conglomerate in Canada. Its owner, Galen Weston Jr., the chairman and CEO of George Weston Limited, a holdings company that owns so much shit in Canada. And also executive chairman and president of Loblaws Companies Limited.
Weston jr is the figurehead of food price inflation in Canada. He’s basically responsible for starting the trend and everybody else followed.
Food insecurity has become a serious problem if Canada and food banks have been solicited like never before since the pandemic.
This is doing to be a hot topic issue in the next federal elections. But already, Loblaws lobbyists are already courting the main party leaders to ensure they don’t do anything to decrease the control they have on the food industry and the profits they make.
It’s disgusting. I approve of this steal from Loblaws day. But it shouldn’t be limited to Loblaws. This should be every major grocery store like Metro and IGA.
Sure. I don’t know why Sobey’s gets off the hook.
Some time ago, we lived in a place where the only grocery was Sobeys. Now that we’ve moved to a place with half a dozen options around - chain and independent alike - the grocery bill is down 30%.
Sobeys doesn’t exist in my town anymore
Even way before this price gouging I always found them wildly expensive.
