Loblaws is out of control

Details from https://www.reddit.com/r/loblawsisoutofcontrol/comments/1bff9rm/boycott/?rdt=54646

For those looking to participate in the community boycott starting May 1st

• We are boycotting Loblaw and Loblaw owned stores for the entire month of May 2024 (obviously you can boycott past this point in time)

• We are asking for a reduction in prices by 15%

• We are asking Loblaw remove "member only pricing" where customers are forced to sign up for a PC optimum card in order to receive sale prices

• If shopping is taking place at Loblaw stores, we are focusing on purchasing loss leaders

Loblaws takes the heat over a tone-deaf price freeze.

And the unprecedented, unjustified, and perhaps unnecessary federal government power grab that nobody cares about.

Background reading:

• Canadians must give thanks to our Loblaw overlords for their generous new marketing campaign
• Supermarkets are hiking prices faster than necessary — and profiting from inflation, Star investigation suggests
• Controversial political fixer re-emerges in Toronto election campaign
• Commons: Papa Pump and the Small Town Shakedown
• Use of Emergencies Act OK by me, whatever the hearings find
• Justin Trudeau accused Doug Ford of ‘hiding’ during convoy protest, documents show

near the entrance of my local loblaws-type grocery store, someone wrote on a wall

they fixed the price of bread

every time I go there it catches my eye. it is the context in which I do my shopping and when things costs too much i am reminded of the general thievery going on.
