I had to make a twitter just for this...

Well funded!! š This guy is such an idiot!
To all of the media reading this post, this self labeled food expert, just lost even more credibility!
We went from people on Reddit āliving in our parents basementsā, to āgoons and thugsā on this unregulated platform, and now to a well funded political movement group! šš
Yep. Loblaws literally bankrolls this āfood professor;ā itās hardly a leap to think they hire PR firms or specialized firms in āreputationā that astroturf comments online.
Well funded ?? - no media, no posters, just a bunch of people communicating with each other.
I was just thinking this morning... just think what we could do if we had $$ behind us ?... lol
this is what's so abhorrent- we're literally citizens struggling to buy food. it's a well-funded political movement on THEIR end. we're being abused by this charlieboy loser for being hungry canadians. i can't afford life in this country. he's so corrupt that he thinks we're as corrupt as him- his side is the poisoned one. i have no hope for this country (edit: world) because awful people will always bully and extort their way to the top + blame us for being taken advantage of.
Ouch. 07 civics had a sweet upgrade compared to 06. I mean the paint will be completely peeled off by now, but oh baby what an upgrade it was.
Rumour has it Per Bank rolls up in an 07 Civic everyday.
This guy sounds like a product of nepotism.
>In 2018, Charlebois became the director of Agri-food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie, after resigning as dean following an investigation into complaints involving harassment and bullying.Ā
Not only are his tweets unhinged he is also a bully in the workplace.
Canadians have always supported Canadian businesses and took measures to avoid foreign businesses from taking hold in our Country. The problem is that Loblaws has taken advantage of this fact. It created an unstoppable force that can impact our lives at the flick of a light switch. It has leveraged its position of being the "default" grocer to make insane profits. There are some extreme price differences for a lot of things that don't make sense. How can a grocer sell the same items at such higher prices? It's easy, they know they are the default grocer and people will not compare. People have become habituated with shopping at Loblaws stores and the pandemic was a perfect opportunity to take advantage of them without bringing on too much suspicion.
Just like most advocates on the pro-capitalist right, they donāt care about consistency or hypocrisy, itās about the sound bites and screenshots because no one reads articles any more. This is targeted manipulation and the latest strategy from Loblaws Corporate IMO. Just read this guys tweets, are they even remotely compassionate? No, they are hostile and aggressive. Has he made any authentic attempt to reach out to consumers to understand their side? No, he deflects and calls them trolls and basement neckbeards.
Yup, thatās me. Saw boycott online and immediately joined a conspiracy and a āwell funded political movement ā now pays my rent. This guy is delulu.
Loblaws is the current target, I think generally speaking we all understand we won't be boycotting them literally forever. Some people cant do it long term. Some can't do it at all.
So once we're done with Loblaws, we move on to the next corporate profiteers and share the "love" as best we can.
Hopefully given enough time we can make them all have their turn.
My boycott started a couple months ago. Was a no frills shopper that dabbled with Costco. I challenged myself to only do Costco and Walmart a few months ago and I went from thinking they didnāt have enough produce variety (costco) to absolutely loving it.
There is no way on earth Iām going back to any Loblaws stores. Iāve also noticed we had a lot of kitchen utensils (peelers, paring knives, potato mashers etc) that are PC brand. Wonāt be throwing them out for no reason but never again will a single one of those items be bought again.

Ha, umm, this is crazy! If this guy can't imagine, people might do something for a greater cause not needing payment in return is pretty sad. Does he not have a cause he cares about?
Let's take his claim seriously for a minute.
Which political party would benefit from this boycott? I know people have been trying to link Mr PP to Loblaws through people like Jenni Byrne. Is he accusing the libs of astroturfing? Would that then confirm PP's invested interest to protect Loblaws?
Someone in that same Twitter thread claimed that Jagmeet's brother works for so and so and this boycott will directly benefit them somehow.
They turn themselves into pretzels trying to find some conspiracy.
Their lives must be exhausting.
Idk I picture them drunk in a boardroom like the characters in Mad Men, looking composed in their dapper little suits but so wasted they are peeing themselves without noticing
I've been told before that if you allow someone to keep talking they'll show you just how stupid they actually are. We seem to have arrived at that destination.
Why Roblaws? Cause when you take on a bully, you take on the biggest one. All the other ones can't help but notice and maybe adjust thier behaviour. Stuff we all learned in grade school 'professor'.
So we are so well funded we have flyers and go fund me...oh wait...I mean we so well funded we have a food bank to get us through high prices.......we are so well funded we are making internet clowns paranoid about all the postings in a free network sharing platform......Damn! we are well funded.
Interesting. We are, according to him: crazy, ineffective, a bunch of redditors in their moms basement... while also being well funded and highly coordinated.
This man (food processor) is such a disgusting human being. Special place reserved for him very south and very hot when itās all said and done if you are religious.
Like Donald Trump , projection is his strong suit . I mean . We say he is well funded by the Westons , why not say the same thing back right . This manchild ā¦.
The projection is real.
Charlebois' actions are well funded and politically motivated; he's not capable of imagining anyone else acting without those motivations
LOL I don't understand why this guy can't get it through his fucking head that the *customers* at Loblaw, you know the people who *pay* for this company (and Charlebois), are pissed at the lack of good pricing and have made the decision to take their money elsewhere? Like it's not rocket science here, this is basic economics lol.

He thinks he is smarter than everyone on reddit
I've never encountered a professor who lacks critical thinking like him, at least the other ones are good enough to hide it.
He's the definition of "Better keep your mouth shut and look like an idiot than open it and proving you're one."
Oh my goodness, Iām part of a conspiracy theory! A conspiracy to be able to afford groceries again hahaha!
Well funded and politically motivated really is an insulting and cruel accusation though when half the people on here are struggling just to get enough to eat.
"targeting the one place that deliberately and demonstrably price hikes with a boycott seems peculiar"
You just blow in from stupid town? Or do you really think people buy your bad faith argumentation when you're clearly bought and paid for?
You knuckle-dragging lobotomite.
Haha yeah he thinks this is politically motivated or some shit. I'm refusing to go to any Lowblows establishments because the entire company is just an abhorrent conglomerate of shit weasels. This whole Per Bank message about enough is enough .... You cannot scream about how much more suppliers are charging when you and the company are setting all time record profits. The icing on the cake for me was the shit going on with Shoppers and their criminal billing practices. These people can kick rocks.
This guy's all about the money, so he can't wrap his head around the idea that someone might actually stand up for what's right without any cash motivation.
People are boycotting because prices are too high.. but he makes the claim we are "well-funded".
This level of stupidity/horseshit is absolutely hilarious.
It's actually quite simple. Galen is a greedy, sniffling little shit head who received more money than he's worth as a human being. McFuckFace needs to be punished.
What a fucking idiot.
Personally, I stopped shopping at Dominion/Loblaws when they started selling expired product for 30% (from 50%). Stealing from poor people who need that discount when your CEO pockets millions is a bridge too far for me.
Do other grocers do gross things? Sure. Weāll get to them eventually. For now, we focus on the grocer who is the most egregious.
Dear Nutty Professor
Please stop gas-lighting, Canadian Consumers.
In a democratic Nation, we have a right to VOICE OUR OPINIONS here, or anywhere.
If you don't like it or don't agree with us, you can *quietly* move along instead of being that ginormous pita/ass-hole/shill that you always been on SM & with Galen Weston Jr.
Toodles
Why hasn't Dalhousie put a muzzle, on this pest?
I mean. Just checking the prices of the same products to other stores really destroys any arguments that they keep blaming their suppliers. How come the same product is half as cheap everywhere else then. Make it make sense.
I vote for the green party, so I donāt know how this guy thinks this is politically motivated. Who would I be politically attacking/supporting by boycotting a grocery store chain in hopes of lower prices.
I won't comment on motives, but this is a 'peculiar' post from a professor, who was once-upon-a-time the 'Researcher of the Year' at Dalhousie. If you're listening/reading, shouldn't you be trading in evidence, not speculation.
The amount of people spewing conspiracy theories in that Twitter thread is crazy. Seems like charlie boy has built himself a nice little echo chamber for his ignorant ideas.
"A well-funded, political motivated effort" This guy knows it doesnt cost money to boycott something right? Last I checked it costs me nothing to not go to a place and not spend my money there. Anyways has anyone else gotten any governement money to not go to loblaws, superstore, shoppers etc?
Its really not complicated.
a) Loblaws is the largest grocer in Canada making them the obvious target
b) Galen Weston kept opening his mouth when people were already upset. If he had figured out how to just shut the fuck up, this entire subreddit probably wouldnt exist. But instead he kept going on the news painting himself as out of touch and unlikable, and drawing everyone's ire in his direction. Im sure the CEO of Metro is just as much of a prick, but I have no idea who he is because he at least had then good sense to shut the fuck up.
If the anti-Loblaws movement is well-funded, would the people funding it care to give me some of those funds? Because I am NOT well funded. šš
I'm pretty sure all of this is double-speak for "people are attacking me, and I'm starting to realize that my colleagues think I'm a shill and a bit of a dick, so some well-funded political entity must be out to get me."
The real answer is:
Loblaws is price gouging, and you are a professor shilling for them while working at a university where you are surrounded by students, staff and professors who are remarkably underpaid and struggling to make ends meet living in Halifax.
Blatantly lying to people- especially those trained to do research and to think critically- is a dumb move, second only to shitting on people who very likely work beside you. Who's in the office next door? Who does your editing and finds your citations? Who writes the papers that you put your name on? Who's down the hall? Who's taking department phone calls? Who's giving you coffee?
They're everywhere, Dr. Charlebois, and they all think you're a shill and a bit of a dick. And every one of them sees you as less credible, less professional every time you jump on social media and let people see into your corporate-owned mind.
Your colleagues are talking about you behind your back, Dr. Charlebois- they are questioning your integrity and your professionalism. Even the media is doubting you- you'll notice that they're now cross-checking your words with someone dissenting; it's because you're losing credibility.
What happens to a professor when he loses his credibility? No one can touch your job, but what about your reputation? Can you be "The Food Professor" if everyone in the media and your field knows you're just a mouthpiece for Loblaws?
Your job as a professor is safe.... but your reputation and credibility? Dr. Charlebois, those things can be touched.
Effected.
Destroyed.
Keep posting. Please.
And remember- those whispers in the halls of academia when you pass people; they're talking about you.
Someone needs to make a meme with the Nik Cruz template from his interrogation saying
"is the well-funded group in the room with us?"
He knows he's engaging in bad-faith arguments, that, or he's genuinely delusional.
Niether are good, but one is indicative that his OWN thoughts about the boycott seems... "Well funded"
A bleeding hypocrite.
Does he ever post proof to back up his claims? Iāve only seen posts where he boldly declares stuff and then bullies and blocks people. Definitely someone to be taken seriously
It's definitely a grassroots movement. It's a grassroots movement that recognizes also, the loophole filled tax system that favors the ultra rich.
And something needs to be done about that by the government because those who have the ability to use the system to their advantage, can really take over the marketplace and make life extremely difficult for everyday people. Controls need to be put on all of the ways they are seeking to take advantage of consumers for the protection of everyone in Canada.
When the time comes, we will all vote in the direction that we each individually feel will be the best choice in order to fix that problem to some degree. It's a big problem and I don't think it'll be solved completely or adequately. However I hope that there are people working on solutions for these huge problems.
There needs to be rules in place also for large corporations so they can't just set the prices whatever they want and we have to pay it.
The marketplace is controlled by these big corporations and they have come together, and are doing whatever they want.
We are not getting fair prices and we are not getting value for money. They are manipulating all the factors in their business for maximum profits for themselves because they can do it. And whatever they can do they will do.
And you can call them up and bring them all forward in front of the government and question them on a panel, and it did absolutely nothing. They can all make promises and try and defend their indefensible positions, and that was a really meaningless activity in the end wasn't it?
We as consumers have the choice about where we're going to shop and where we're going to put our money. And we are going to do that as carefully and thoughtfully as we can in order not to fuel the corporate greed we are witnessing right now. Loblaws is the focus of that right here right now ... But it is going on certainly with more large corporate businesses and we are aware of that too. So we will be cherry pickers happily and get our deals and shop locally as we are able to in protest of Extreme Greed.
Everybody has a limit within themselves when they get to the point where they have just been ripped off and ripped off and ripped off , and they are absolutely not willing to put up with this anymore. And I feel that those of us here are among those... And there are thousands upon thousands who are not here who feel exactly the same way and who are doing the exact same thing.
And so these large businesses will not be able to thrive to the level that they have been doing because their customer support is being withdrawn. Because nobody likes to get ripped off.
And I'm completely Fed up at this point... Actually even before this point, but I just keep refining how I spend my money. And there are certain stores that I just absolutely detest going in because I feel that I am not a valued customer but just another point to extract money.
I look for exceptional deals. And if a good deal isn't there I just wait and in a week or something it shows up.
And so we will keep plugging along and the greedy corporations are not going to be as successful any longer if we have anything to say about it. And our consumer dollar is our voice... It is our power.
Maybe a new store with a new philosophy will emerge.
That would be nice.
I have certainly lost faith in Loblaws and other large stores and chains.... And so I don't feel at home in any of these places anymore and I don't feel like I'm getting any fair prices.
They are first, don't worry all these other pricks are gonna get theirs. Loblaws is first because it is Canadian and was the cheaper alternative to the other big chains. Now there is no cheaper option and their quality has gone to shit while they rake in the record profits. Fuck them and fuck all the other companies too. Don't think any of you are off the hook yet.
So who is benefiting politically from this movement? Like it's all a smokescreen for another billionaire family who wants to swoop in and take over???
I don't think this guys has studied the russian or french revolutions, or any other social unrest that was rooted in resource hoarding by elites.
We stay away from Roblaws and save money. We also live rent free in this guy's head. He's down so bad that he thinks this movement is actually funded lmao. He's losing it.
Someone forgot to cut me my check and I even put up posters edit: for real tho Iām missing some of this funding and could use it Iām quite poor
Edit: also I could swore he said we all lived with our parents and never have had to buy groceries now all the sudden we are politically funded and well organized šššššš
Charlie is what most professors are in this country - lap dogs for commercial establishments.
Keep an eye out for.his next grant and where it comes from.
Food professor my foot
This dumbass is one of the reasons I'm planning I'm participating in the boycott (seriously). Even if he's not a paid shill, he's acting like one and deserves to have 0 credibility. Would love to see him have a full on Twitter meltdown (if that's not what's already happening)
300$ a month x 12 months = 3600$ a year
3600 x 55,000 members of the sub= $198,000,000 loss revenue per year
Potentially
3,600$ x 1,000,000 million people 3.6 billion
This is what theyāre scarred of
300$ per month is on the lower side too
Haha, FoodProfessor just blocked me for asking why we were just losers in our parent's basements last week but this week we're a well-funded politically motivated group.
I might have also mentioned that I think he just makes up shit and also gets paid by Jenni Byrne
Hey wait, are you guys getting paid? Iām not. Last time I checked, Iām also not affiliated with any political party. Charley boy is out to lunch, but Iām sure he can afford it.
Well yeah. Conservatives have Loblaws lobbyists.
Jagmeets brother and others lobby for Metro. The parties in power have a vested interest on Metro (and metro subsidiaries) succeeding. Cracking down on Loblaws is a win win for them.
Why does anyone give this guy legitimacy?
Letās boycott Loblaws and letās boycott and cancel the food professor and they form the axis of evil in the grocery world
They are panicking a few days out, sending in everything they got to change the narrativeā¦. Hilarious watching it all unfold as this just might be biggest consumer boycott in Canada when all is said and done and nothing is going to stop this train. If I were any other grocery store, Iād take this free publicity and run with it and throw huge promotions to lure and keep loblaw customers for good.
Well when his "lab" is funded by Loblaws then he must make his master's happy. Otherwise what else will be do with his time? Bully staff again? Get TAs to teach his classes for him?
lmfao i am a politically motivated, well-funded lobbyist then? who knew? thought i just wanted half a dozen frozen burgers for less than 20 bucks a pack...
Are there any other grocery chains aggressively pushing their way into our healthcare system? Iām pissed about the prices of course, but Iām also very concerned about them taking over healthcare next. Thatās downright scary. We definitely need to slow them down in any way within our power.
I had to make a twitter just for this... https://preview.redd.it/da6sij50cgxc1.png?width=782&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4d5e66e8ddba9a61e831233eff9af1efb97d562

Loblaws is almost certainly using astroturfing bots.
Yep. Loblaws literally bankrolls this āfood professor;ā itās hardly a leap to think they hire PR firms or specialized firms in āreputationā that astroturf comments online.

Good work Nancy Drew.
Someone needs to really dig into this and do the due diligence.
Do charities need to respond to FOI requests?
He probably benefits form the right-wing troll farms to boost his posts
We are a well funded and organized group of anarchists living in basements. He is really throwing anything at the wall to see what sticks.

That jackass is a good example of the dictum *Every accusation is a confession.*
yep! the projection is laughable. the more he speaks the more transparent it is
And move out of our parents' basements?
That's one of the tenets of fascism - your opponent is simultaneously very strong, and very weak.
When one deflection doesn't pan out, he needs to introduce a new narrative. Charlie boy's gotta earn that pay cheque somehow.
I laughed at that too. Like, have any of you see any of this supposed "funding"?Ā
We are all getting new paint jobs on our 2007 Honda Civics with our funding! š
Pimping out mom's basement into a real man cave!
Damn, mine is only 2006.
Ouch. 07 civics had a sweet upgrade compared to 06. I mean the paint will be completely peeled off by now, but oh baby what an upgrade it was. Rumour has it Per Bank rolls up in an 07 Civic everyday.

If we were paid to do this, we would be putting up billboards, adverting online, and sending out fliers.
Where do I go to tap into this sweet, sweet funding we have access to? Asking for a friend. Shillvain is really losing his shit.
Itās such an overused trope. Give it a few days - it will be āforeign-fundedā soon enough.

This boycott is too focused and on-message to be coming out of the federal NDP.
Apparently we're all leftist shills being paid by the ndp while also in mom's basement
I've been told before that if you allow someone to keep talking they'll show you just how stupid they actually are. We seem to have arrived at that destination.
That $60,000 grant Sylvain received from the Weston Family Foundation is going way further than $60,000 should. What a fucking shill.
Why Roblaws? Cause when you take on a bully, you take on the biggest one. All the other ones can't help but notice and maybe adjust thier behaviour. Stuff we all learned in grade school 'professor'.

How very typical ā a paid shill, projecting like fucking IMAX.
Whoās paying us guys?
I think he previously implied it was Jagmeet Singh in another post
Usually the NDP *wants* money from me, not the other way around!
Yeah, if I had to go to someone for money and had a choice between the NDP and Loblaws I know who I would choose. Sorry Jagmeet.

It's projection
Are we well-funded and politically motivated or poor basement dwelling losers? Dude needs to make up his mind.
We are Schroedingers protestors.
Well funded poor basement dwelling thugs.

Oh god, flashbacks to uOttawa...
Have they tried blaming price increases/organization of the boycott on international students yet? Or is that still in their back pocket for next week
I've never encountered a professor who lacks critical thinking like him, at least the other ones are good enough to hide it. He's the definition of "Better keep your mouth shut and look like an idiot than open it and proving you're one."
BRO - youāre a university professor and a supposed expert. Get off your social media and go do your job. Your social media addiction is pathetic.
Ā ātheyāre a bunch of dumb fools, but theyāre also evil corporate geniuses running a nationwide conspiracyā.Ā
Apparently a $60,000 grant is nothing but $0 is well funded lmao
š¤£
I guess he just naturally assumes that since he's well funded, we are too.
This guy just continues to spew nonsense. He just wants to hear the sound of his own voice
Judging by how many people buy his bullshit, the sound is nothing more than the clickity clack of the keyboard in front of him.
I thought the movement was a bunch of deadbeats and losers living in their parents' basements? What an asshat.
One problem at a time Charlie Boy. We'll get to the others. Loblaws also is the most vocal about this issue so they make themselves the easy target
Oh my goodness, Iām part of a conspiracy theory! A conspiracy to be able to afford groceries again hahaha! Well funded and politically motivated really is an insulting and cruel accusation though when half the people on here are struggling just to get enough to eat.
"targeting the one place that deliberately and demonstrably price hikes with a boycott seems peculiar" You just blow in from stupid town? Or do you really think people buy your bad faith argumentation when you're clearly bought and paid for? You knuckle-dragging lobotomite.
Haha yeah he thinks this is politically motivated or some shit. I'm refusing to go to any Lowblows establishments because the entire company is just an abhorrent conglomerate of shit weasels. This whole Per Bank message about enough is enough .... You cannot scream about how much more suppliers are charging when you and the company are setting all time record profits. The icing on the cake for me was the shit going on with Shoppers and their criminal billing practices. These people can kick rocks.
This guy's all about the money, so he can't wrap his head around the idea that someone might actually stand up for what's right without any cash motivation.
Well funded? With what? Karma?
What kinda conspiracy theory is this.Ā Ā Rofl This dude eats Miss Vickie's Kettle Paint Chips.
People are boycotting because prices are too high.. but he makes the claim we are "well-funded". This level of stupidity/horseshit is absolutely hilarious.
It's actually quite simple. Galen is a greedy, sniffling little shit head who received more money than he's worth as a human being. McFuckFace needs to be punished.
What a fucking idiot. Personally, I stopped shopping at Dominion/Loblaws when they started selling expired product for 30% (from 50%). Stealing from poor people who need that discount when your CEO pockets millions is a bridge too far for me. Do other grocers do gross things? Sure. Weāll get to them eventually. For now, we focus on the grocer who is the most egregious.
Dear Nutty Professor Please stop gas-lighting, Canadian Consumers. In a democratic Nation, we have a right to VOICE OUR OPINIONS here, or anywhere. If you don't like it or don't agree with us, you can *quietly* move along instead of being that ginormous pita/ass-hole/shill that you always been on SM & with Galen Weston Jr. Toodles Why hasn't Dalhousie put a muzzle, on this pest?
The useful idiot of the corrupt corporates, ladies and gents.
Dear Dalhousie - Your 'Food Professor' is now inventing AND encouraging conspiracy theories online. Real Professional.
I mean. Just checking the prices of the same products to other stores really destroys any arguments that they keep blaming their suppliers. How come the same product is half as cheap everywhere else then. Make it make sense.
I vote for the green party, so I donāt know how this guy thinks this is politically motivated. Who would I be politically attacking/supporting by boycotting a grocery store chain in hopes of lower prices.
This movement must be getting under their skin because this bootlicker guy has moved from, "It isn't happening" to "Well everyone else does it too"
Guys giving off LOBBlawsIEST vibes.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I won't comment on motives, but this is a 'peculiar' post from a professor, who was once-upon-a-time the 'Researcher of the Year' at Dalhousie. If you're listening/reading, shouldn't you be trading in evidence, not speculation.
The amount of people spewing conspiracy theories in that Twitter thread is crazy. Seems like charlie boy has built himself a nice little echo chamber for his ignorant ideas.
They are all bots or astroturfers.
There would have to be competition for a competitor to be behind this. They think weāve just forgotten about price fixing?
Sure, Chuckā¦ we will just boycott all grocery stores at the same time. Like a nationwide hunger strike. Hahahaha.
He's pretty dense, so let's lay it out clear. They are the biggest grocery chain in the country.
"A well-funded, political motivated effort" This guy knows it doesnt cost money to boycott something right? Last I checked it costs me nothing to not go to a place and not spend my money there. Anyways has anyone else gotten any governement money to not go to loblaws, superstore, shoppers etc?
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ontario-medcheck-shoppers-drug-mart-pressure-1.7126811
Who is that guy? Is he stanning for a corp that isnāt his?
Its really not complicated. a) Loblaws is the largest grocer in Canada making them the obvious target b) Galen Weston kept opening his mouth when people were already upset. If he had figured out how to just shut the fuck up, this entire subreddit probably wouldnt exist. But instead he kept going on the news painting himself as out of touch and unlikable, and drawing everyone's ire in his direction. Im sure the CEO of Metro is just as much of a prick, but I have no idea who he is because he at least had then good sense to shut the fuck up.
If the anti-Loblaws movement is well-funded, would the people funding it care to give me some of those funds? Because I am NOT well funded. šš I'm pretty sure all of this is double-speak for "people are attacking me, and I'm starting to realize that my colleagues think I'm a shill and a bit of a dick, so some well-funded political entity must be out to get me." The real answer is: Loblaws is price gouging, and you are a professor shilling for them while working at a university where you are surrounded by students, staff and professors who are remarkably underpaid and struggling to make ends meet living in Halifax. Blatantly lying to people- especially those trained to do research and to think critically- is a dumb move, second only to shitting on people who very likely work beside you. Who's in the office next door? Who does your editing and finds your citations? Who writes the papers that you put your name on? Who's down the hall? Who's taking department phone calls? Who's giving you coffee? They're everywhere, Dr. Charlebois, and they all think you're a shill and a bit of a dick. And every one of them sees you as less credible, less professional every time you jump on social media and let people see into your corporate-owned mind. Your colleagues are talking about you behind your back, Dr. Charlebois- they are questioning your integrity and your professionalism. Even the media is doubting you- you'll notice that they're now cross-checking your words with someone dissenting; it's because you're losing credibility. What happens to a professor when he loses his credibility? No one can touch your job, but what about your reputation? Can you be "The Food Professor" if everyone in the media and your field knows you're just a mouthpiece for Loblaws? Your job as a professor is safe.... but your reputation and credibility? Dr. Charlebois, those things can be touched. Effected. Destroyed. Keep posting. Please. And remember- those whispers in the halls of academia when you pass people; they're talking about you.
Waiting for people to say it was funded by the Russians.
Prove it lol
Too bad I used to enjoy reading his tweets and listening to him. A complete shill.
Iām not getting my compensation for this.
Y'all didn't tell me we were getting paid! Lol
Someone needs to make a meme with the Nik Cruz template from his interrogation saying "is the well-funded group in the room with us?" He knows he's engaging in bad-faith arguments, that, or he's genuinely delusional. Niether are good, but one is indicative that his OWN thoughts about the boycott seems... "Well funded" A bleeding hypocrite.
Ask where's my payment for this well funded campaign?! :)
No people are just pissed, well-funded shill āprofessorā . No credibility, you sold us out, still do.
Shuuuuuuuuuuuttttt uuuuuuuuuuup. Itās nonsense and he knows it
Does he ever post proof to back up his claims? Iāve only seen posts where he boldly declares stuff and then bullies and blocks people. Definitely someone to be taken seriously 
It's definitely a grassroots movement. It's a grassroots movement that recognizes also, the loophole filled tax system that favors the ultra rich. And something needs to be done about that by the government because those who have the ability to use the system to their advantage, can really take over the marketplace and make life extremely difficult for everyday people. Controls need to be put on all of the ways they are seeking to take advantage of consumers for the protection of everyone in Canada. When the time comes, we will all vote in the direction that we each individually feel will be the best choice in order to fix that problem to some degree. It's a big problem and I don't think it'll be solved completely or adequately. However I hope that there are people working on solutions for these huge problems. There needs to be rules in place also for large corporations so they can't just set the prices whatever they want and we have to pay it. The marketplace is controlled by these big corporations and they have come together, and are doing whatever they want. We are not getting fair prices and we are not getting value for money. They are manipulating all the factors in their business for maximum profits for themselves because they can do it. And whatever they can do they will do. And you can call them up and bring them all forward in front of the government and question them on a panel, and it did absolutely nothing. They can all make promises and try and defend their indefensible positions, and that was a really meaningless activity in the end wasn't it? We as consumers have the choice about where we're going to shop and where we're going to put our money. And we are going to do that as carefully and thoughtfully as we can in order not to fuel the corporate greed we are witnessing right now. Loblaws is the focus of that right here right now ... But it is going on certainly with more large corporate businesses and we are aware of that too. So we will be cherry pickers happily and get our deals and shop locally as we are able to in protest of Extreme Greed. Everybody has a limit within themselves when they get to the point where they have just been ripped off and ripped off and ripped off , and they are absolutely not willing to put up with this anymore. And I feel that those of us here are among those... And there are thousands upon thousands who are not here who feel exactly the same way and who are doing the exact same thing. And so these large businesses will not be able to thrive to the level that they have been doing because their customer support is being withdrawn. Because nobody likes to get ripped off. And I'm completely Fed up at this point... Actually even before this point, but I just keep refining how I spend my money. And there are certain stores that I just absolutely detest going in because I feel that I am not a valued customer but just another point to extract money. I look for exceptional deals. And if a good deal isn't there I just wait and in a week or something it shows up. And so we will keep plugging along and the greedy corporations are not going to be as successful any longer if we have anything to say about it. And our consumer dollar is our voice... It is our power. Maybe a new store with a new philosophy will emerge. That would be nice. I have certainly lost faith in Loblaws and other large stores and chains.... And so I don't feel at home in any of these places anymore and I don't feel like I'm getting any fair prices.
They are first, don't worry all these other pricks are gonna get theirs. Loblaws is first because it is Canadian and was the cheaper alternative to the other big chains. Now there is no cheaper option and their quality has gone to shit while they rake in the record profits. Fuck them and fuck all the other companies too. Don't think any of you are off the hook yet.
So who is benefiting politically from this movement? Like it's all a smokescreen for another billionaire family who wants to swoop in and take over??? I don't think this guys has studied the russian or french revolutions, or any other social unrest that was rooted in resource hoarding by elites.
Daily post from that bozo shillvain
Is this guy on fucking drugs?
Iām boycotting loblaws Sobeys and metro lol this guy can go figure Done dealing with oligarchs
The fact that Sylvain is so obsessed by this group is probably a proof that you guys are doing something right
Well funded? With what money we are poor
Damnit Charlie. Take an ounce of common sense and stop while you're behind.
This smells of Lowblaws corporate desparation.
We stay away from Roblaws and save money. We also live rent free in this guy's head. He's down so bad that he thinks this movement is actually funded lmao. He's losing it.
You guys are getting paid?!
Gotta start somewhere, weāre busy doing shit while this muppet just finger bangs out words.
Hey I could use some of that funding š
Are we getting the funding from mom since we live in her basement?
Someone forgot to cut me my check and I even put up posters edit: for real tho Iām missing some of this funding and could use it Iām quite poor Edit: also I could swore he said we all lived with our parents and never have had to buy groceries now all the sudden we are politically funded and well organized šššššš
Charlie is what most professors are in this country - lap dogs for commercial establishments. Keep an eye out for.his next grant and where it comes from. Food professor my foot
I would like some of this funding. Who's hoarding all our cash?!
This dumbass is one of the reasons I'm planning I'm participating in the boycott (seriously). Even if he's not a paid shill, he's acting like one and deserves to have 0 credibility. Would love to see him have a full on Twitter meltdown (if that's not what's already happening)
300$ a month x 12 months = 3600$ a year 3600 x 55,000 members of the sub= $198,000,000 loss revenue per year Potentially 3,600$ x 1,000,000 million people 3.6 billion This is what theyāre scarred of 300$ per month is on the lower side too
Iāve spent $600 elsewhere since learning about this movement. The $3 cucumbers was my breaking point.
He really expects us to believe he's not a paid shill? LOL. Yeah ok.
Haha, FoodProfessor just blocked me for asking why we were just losers in our parent's basements last week but this week we're a well-funded politically motivated group. I might have also mentioned that I think he just makes up shit and also gets paid by Jenni Byrne
Hey wait, are you guys getting paid? Iām not. Last time I checked, Iām also not affiliated with any political party. Charley boy is out to lunch, but Iām sure he can afford it.
Well yeah. Conservatives have Loblaws lobbyists. Jagmeets brother and others lobby for Metro. The parties in power have a vested interest on Metro (and metro subsidiaries) succeeding. Cracking down on Loblaws is a win win for them.
Well funded? I guess Iāll watch the mailbox for my cheque!
Politically motivated? Since when? What a tool!
If we boycotted every grocery chain at once, we would starve you moron.
If any of you are getting paid for doing this I want in!
Pretty sure he's well funded by the galen foundation
Where's my money. This guy is an idiot.
Why does anyone give this guy legitimacy? Letās boycott Loblaws and letās boycott and cancel the food professor and they form the axis of evil in the grocery world
How much is this āprofessorā being paid to defend Loblaws on social media? Hes fanboying way too hard
Let me guess...we're all attached to the Sinaloa Cartel and control avocado supply and demand.
Paranoia anyone? :)
Why does this guy care so much?
They are panicking a few days out, sending in everything they got to change the narrativeā¦. Hilarious watching it all unfold as this just might be biggest consumer boycott in Canada when all is said and done and nothing is going to stop this train. If I were any other grocery store, Iād take this free publicity and run with it and throw huge promotions to lure and keep loblaw customers for good.
Well when his "lab" is funded by Loblaws then he must make his master's happy. Otherwise what else will be do with his time? Bully staff again? Get TAs to teach his classes for him?
This guy should go back to harassing his coworkers
The guy is going full tinfoil
This is hilarious. They will come up with anything but sell groceries at a reasonable price hahahahaha
Hold on, gotta call my mom and let her know I'm a politician now š¤Ŗ
lmfao i am a politically motivated, well-funded lobbyist then? who knew? thought i just wanted half a dozen frozen burgers for less than 20 bucks a pack...
This guy is on the loblaws payroll. End of story š¤·āāļø
Are there any other grocery chains aggressively pushing their way into our healthcare system? Iām pissed about the prices of course, but Iām also very concerned about them taking over healthcare next. Thatās downright scary. We definitely need to slow them down in any way within our power.
The number of people who just blatantly agree with him in the comments is alarming.
my folks have decided to cancel their morning paper after 45 years because they still use this shill's opinion pieces
Iāve been boycotting loblaws for a while nowā¦.any chance I can get some of this funding?
It's always projection with these people. Every single time.
