Not going to steal, but definitely will boycott for the month of May.
Yeah. Don’t break the law to make a point as you only put yourself at risk. Instead show else and vote with your dollar.
For this particular case, sure, stealing is pretty stupid.
Breaking the law to make a point is a very important thing though. Most protestors are breaking some sort of law, and I frequently believe that protesting is the right action to take despite the personal risk in those situations.

So I got that going for me, which is nice.
Bro they sell food... it's not like you can just decide not to buy it and a lot of people don't live in the middle of a giant city and have no choice when it comes to the grocery store they have to use.
I switched to Longo's which are locally owned and actually I save money. I also started going to the local international grocery which is quite large for several things. At least I'm supporting local.
Edit: didn't know Longo's is now owned by Sobeys, so it's time for the local Polish grocery store too.
If only there was another grocery store than Maxi that sold okay quality stuff at discount prices around here. I’ve got a farmers market and a local grocery store where veggies get down to an interesting price in season, but otherwise I basically have to choose between Maxi, Walmart, or pay considerably more at IGA or Metro - with the wife, dog and two kids, it approaches a hundred more for comparable groceries at the latter. Can’t say I find giving my money to Sobeys or Metro any more attractive either…
~~Which are both Loblaws brands anyways.~~
Hmm I’m not seeing them in there? Pretty sure Metro is its own thing (which owns Jean Coutu, Brunet, Super C, etc), and IGA is Sobeys.
Yup, guess I was too tired to be commenting.
