Loblaws is out of control

A sub devoted to highlighting the ridiculous cost of living in Canada right now. We’d like to thank our corporate overlord Galen Weston Jr. of Loblaws for continually raising grocery prices so he can get a big fat bonus cheque every year while the rest of Canadians struggle to make ends meet.

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

I already avoid Metro because of how they treat their employees and because the judgemental stares I get at Adonis when wearing pride items, Walmart is greedy as hell. That leaves me with Costco and Farmboy for the moth of May? I actually liked shopping at the Real Canadian Superstore. It felt like a calm, organized place.
