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

Because this chart is labelled "Loblaws brands" it is going to mislead some people to think that all the stores in the picture are to be boycotted, which might make them just give up because they might not have any options.

Those stores all profit Loblaws, so the link in the description has a list of alternatives for every province. 🙂

My first thought was "wait, Sobey's is owned by Loblaws?!" I think there should have been a distinction between "we're boycotting these guys" and "we're not boycotting these guys."
