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.

Great stuff. The second part of this quote from the artist, No Name Peasant, made me chuckle.

“I chose to mimic Andy Warhol’s famous Campbell’s soup cans in the first campaign, which were meant to represent the mundane. I created ‘No Name 100% Pure Gruel’ in an effort to highlight that average Canadians can no longer afford what was once ordinary,” the artist said.

As for Peasant’s Choice, it’s meant to illustrate “how unlikely it is that any president is choosing President’s Choice. Folks are choosing this because they absolutely have to.”
