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.

I was at a farmer's market here in Calgary remarking at a) how amazing the quality of local greenhouse veggies are and b) sad how quickly everyone forgot about the price gouging of the major grocery chains.

Now, being able to pay a few extra bucks for local farmers market stuff requires having the disposable cash to afford it and a lot of folks are more worried about feeding their kids than shopping as a statement - so no judgment - but it's a shame we've been distracted by Trump as to the way corporations have been killing competition through monopolistic practices.
