Meanwhile, they continue to find new ways to extract pennies from the poor who need to eat: Loblaws will no longer offer 50% discount on expiring food products

"It wasn't costing them anything. Because once the food leaves the shelves ... it's garbage," he said. "Why try to squeeze another 20 per cent profit out of something you're going to dispose of?"

Yep, it's in plain sight that Loblaws would rather trash their products than give people a way to afford staple items.

I'll be sure to drink this in a week if it costs less than the normal product, but I'm not going to go anywhere near it if it's not discounted.

Loblaws doesn't throw away expired food, they relabel it to sell at full price again.

The journalist writing this is a complete idiot who has no idea what is going on.

We've long passed 'gilded age' more than a decade ago, we've been in a technological dystopia built for the rich since the early 00's (or early 80's depending on who you ask and how you interpret the technological innovation of the stock market and abuse of the international exchanges and SWAP markets by market makers for monetary gain).

How this moron is only NOW seeing it seriously indicates a massive failing in both education and ability to observe business and economic situations.
