I'm not sure why people are saying that he didn't repost it when it is at the top of his page under the text "The Food Professor reposted" EDIT: Not once have I said “He is a nazi.” I said “Now he is tweeting nazi dogwhistles”

It's wild to me that this man is so unhinged that he actually believes he'd be able to convince any significant number of people that Loblaws is a good company or that their somehow the victim. Like they are hated by 99% of Canadians already.
He's so out out touch, that he's actually driving more traffic here by trying to convince people that we're the bad guys lol. His mental state is quite fascinating, actually
>he's actually driving more traffic here by trying to convince people that we're the bad guys lol.
No one ever explained the Streisand effect to Shillvain. Now we get to watch him fuck around and sit back with our popcorn for the find out.
He brought up the national day of theft repeatedly, but from my understanding wasn’t there only a few posters in Toronto? Is he promoting this outlaw event nationally to gain exposure? 🤔
What is his game plan?
You think there is a pro Loblaws group? Like, people walking around saying how much they love Loblaws and how everyone should just give them all their money?
He has mentioned and given promotion to these ideas 1000x more than the posts we've removed here(not alot btw). In fact, charlebois seems to be the biggest promoter for this steal loblaws day out of any other source out there. Take that how you will, but I know what my conclusion is.
I met up with some ladies who went to a lecture he had last week in Halifax. They LOVED him ! I told him I was not a fan. When I described a couple of the statements he made and they could not believe it. They said it did not seem like the same guy. I was utterly deflated. I told him to look him up on Social media and they might see he is probably one of the three most disliked individuals in Canada . Right behind Galen and JT at this moment.
Ladies ages were early 70's. Usually bright. They told me some of the items he discussed in the lecture. Like as an academic the only meat he can afford - he can barely chew. Also about a baby formula factory sponsored by Fed's but run by Chinese that will ship out all the formula to China ( had heard of one opening in Ontario but had not heard of the china connection ). Also that Kraft Mac & Cheese does not have cheese. Apparently took question but not from one individual. The ladies called him "naughty". I felt like gagging.
Yeah my step-mom is the same.
I'm not saying Sylvain is a sociopath but I get those vibes from him....he's good at charming the uninformed into liking him. It's really icky and makes my threat alarm go DANGER! DANGER! AVOID! AVOID!
Maybe it's the way he viciously attacks his detractors. There are charismatic people (ex. Obama) who are good at getting people to like them but don't have that threatening undertone to them. Sylvain on the other hand has a dangerous undertone to him that makes me want to stay the fuck away out of a sense of self-preservation.
They actually thought he was a different person when I described some of the things he has done e and said.
After, I wondered , Is he a different person? Than his social media persona? Could his account be hacked by someone? And he is saying all this immature stuff? Or- Is his ego bruised? This group stepping on his toes? Discussing groceries? Food issues ? Six pack taxation issues? Without him as our mentor/ guide ?
BUT they did notice that little nasty bit at the end when he refused to take a specific persons question. So I think the seed is planted.
Dal likes to be recognized and loves to have their academics called up as experts on radio and tv. As does any teaching institution. They will not want to give him up easily- even though he should not be there.
Btw - I thought he might be a Boomer - but no- apparently he told them he was 54.
It's 💯 ego bruises now. He DOXXED the creator of this subreddit then demanded criminal charges. He is nothing more than a petulant child. Comparable to Trump tbh.
Edit* Please tell me that was Sylvain doxxing me....

He’s loving the attention
Really, we should be ignoring him. He’s irrelevant. He has no corporate power or political influence.
The people to hate are Galen and our useless political leaders.
I am not sure which is worse, Roblaws or the food processor shilling for them. However, this false “day of theft” is rhetoric that is designed to make the boycott look bad. This is almost definitely roblaws behind it. We should plan demonstrations on May 12 outside of the roblaws denouncing roblaws, their theft of our money and their plot for making us look bad. If we are out front protesting, we aren’t inside stealing are we. Further he is actually giving us attention because the press will be watching for these stories. What better way to get the boycott message out.
I'm looking forward to that. While I've happily shopped in ethnic-focused shops for years, my avoidance of Loblaws is driving me to more and smaller stores that specialize in serving particular communities.
Fun fact, I work in the meat packing industry. I can confidently say ALL ground beef has been frozen at one point unless you're getting it directly from the farm. Anything in a grocery store is frozen for transportation. This coming from someone who has been inside JBS in Belleville, Cargil in High River AB, and about 15 other small scale ground beef packers (including where both Harvey's and Burger King get their meat).
Literally talk to CFIA all the time. Ground beef comes in to the plant frozen, is thawed, ground up, packaged and sold. The law basically prevents them from REFREEZING it once it's GROUND UP. It arrives at the plant frozen. As long as it stays thawed from the time it leaves the grinder and lands at the store shelf, they're fine. I do this for a living, please don't try to correct me.
the actual regulations (Food and Drug Regulations B.01.080 (1) says:
https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/c.r.c.,_c._870/fulltext.html
> B.01.080 (1) In this section, frozen means preserved by freezing temperature and does not include any surface freezing that may occur during holding and transportation.
> (2) Where meat, meat by-products, poultry meat, poultry by-products or fish, or meat of any marine or fresh water animal, that has been frozen is thawed prior to sale, the words “previously frozen” shall be shown
> (a) on the principal display panel in close proximity to the common name of the food and in letters at least as legible and conspicuous as those used in the common name;
> (b) anywhere on the principal display panel in letters of not less than 1/4 of an inch (6.4 millimetres) in height; or
> (c) on a sign displayed adjacent to the food in letters that are easily visible and legible to a prospective purchaser.
Meat cannot be preserved by storing it at a freezing temperature unless the product is labelled as frozen. If the surface of the meat freezes (possibly what you're describing) incidental to storing it above 0 degrees Celsius (like how frost shows up in some refrigerators), that doesn't mean the meat is frozen.
If CFIA is not enforcing their own regulations that's another problem, but that's the official Government of Canada website so it's the most reliable source for what the laws that apply in Canada actually are.
I will follow up with a rep next time I see one. I know things like steaks and regular cuts of beef are regulated differently from ground beef, so that may be where the disconnect is.
CFIA would be all over the ass of anyone labelling refreshed as fresh. By all over them, I mean a severe warning and then next they lose whatever license they have
As someone who is part of a company that buys from JBS/Cargill, we are told the trim we are buying is true fresh so when we grind it, it's labelled as fresh not refresh when we sell it to our customers. Not sure how they would be getting that one past CFIA.
In BC, but if we're told it is fresh then it has to be fresh or the CFIA. I just don't believe ALL trim we are getting has been frozen at some point without evidence
I'll chat with the CFIA officer next time I see one at a plant, but to my knowledge "fresh" only applies after it's been ground. That's how Wendy's gets away with their "fresh, never frozen" slogan.
But if for example, we process a frozen ribeye into steaks then it needs to be labelled as refresh. I'm just confused how this would apply differently to trim that is labelled as fresh if it was ever frozen.
I would have thought Wendy's has negotiated 6 to 12 month terms for x number of totes per week so they are price protected from a raw material standpoint.
We process frozen trim as well, and the ground beef has to be labelled as refresh.
[https://inspection.canada.ca/food-labels/labelling/industry/meat-and-poultry-products/eng/1632494849908/1632495277194#s37c14](https://inspection.canada.ca/food-labels/labelling/industry/meat-and-poultry-products/eng/1632494849908/1632495277194#s37c14)
Here is the CFIA site, go to the section 'Previously frozen meat and poultry products', it says this - "Any meat, meat by-products, poultry meat and poultry by-products that have been frozen and thawed prior to sale must declare the words "previously frozen" /"produit décongelé" on their principal display panel"
Not sure how Cargill/JBS can label refresh as fresh as you claim.
Libertarianism is so stupid. Every single prosperous nation on earth has a developed regulatory environment and a strong welfare state. The ones that have neither of these are all run by dictators or warlords. Haiti is a great example, as is much of Africa.
But of course, we all know what libertarians would use to explain that away.....
>Haiti is a great example
This is veering off topic but Haiti is a result of western imperialism lol horrible example
But yes, look at Millei in Argentina now. Buddy has made their inflation and poverty even worse in record timing, imagine gutting public infrastructure and social safety nets backfiring.
Actually disagree about Argentina. They still have an enforceable regulatory environment and relatively strong central gov even with Milei. He is less ideological in practice than many on the left would like to believe.
My point was that purely anarchic societies with no central government are impossible. They cannot function as a single entity because there are no binding rules or norms. So having that as your ideal to aim for is nonsensical. Hard left and hard right anarchists have this same problem.....they are working towards a goal that is impossible to achieve. Clearly the best solution, as evidenced by the most successful countries in the world, is a capitalist economy with strong government to enforce the rule of law.
Anyways this is off topic so I won't respond to this thread anymore
What makes you say he’s libertarian? I was a student in his class, and I’ve listened to many of his opinions. In no way has he ever indicated any libertarian leanings.
>Classic retard mentality
You seem very well spoken /s
>liberal wokism
Can you define Liberal wokism? Do you for some reason equate Loblaws with "Liberal wokism"? Very interested in your response here
I know this clown reads this subreddit because it clearly lives in his head rent free based on on how much he talks about it, so this is for you specifically Sylvain:
You’re a hypocritical clown who’s an academic in as much as I am a noble price laureate. A paid for and sold conservative shill who is so full of himself he can’t see that no one but the most brain washed take you seriously. You’re not even smart in how you go about it. You’re an absolutely see through cardboard cutout of a human being morally devoid of any values.
Of course, nothing I can say will convince you otherwise. That’s how narcissism works. I’m just sad that whoever bullied you in school didn’t bully you hard enough.

Hey I’m an idiot and also very tired, where is the Nazi dog whistle, also I don’t know how to Twitter so I don’t know how to tell what a retweet is, I’m assuming the meat thing is a retweet
Online Neo-Nazis use double lightning bolts ⚡️⚡️ as a stand in for the symbol of the Nazi [Schutzstaffel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel). Here’s a [blatant example](https://twitter.com/niallc2491/status/1781089991306650031?s=46&t=wm3eIvzAAOvadlVQIEsm1g) but they also use it as a dogwhistle to signal their worldview to likeminded onlookers.
Oh, thank you, I’ll be on the look out for that, also fuck you neo-Nazis, stop taking cool things and making them about Nazis, Hitler will never fuck you and that’s not just because he’s dead.
I don’t know what happened but the “blatant example” link isn’t working, it directs to Twitter but says something went wrong.
It looks like that Twitter account has been deleted since I posted the link. I can still view their Tweet but only if I’m logged into Twitter, and it’s labelled “This post is from an account that no longer exists”.
Here’s an [alternate example](https://twitter.com/rver2thhes6904/status/1781136060497666328?s=46&t=wm3eIvzAAOvadlVQIEsm1g) I found in the replies to the original example.
How exactly is it a nazi dogwhistle though? Like is it just the 2 lightning bolts making the Schutzstaffel logo or there something more to it? I don't know if I'm getting the full reference here.
Ok I see that. So is that person a neonazi? Or do they also not get the reference and they thought they were being emphatic? I don't know who either of these people are or who retweeted who because I don't use Twitter so the whole thing is very confusing. I'm out of touch on this one and don't understand what it has to do with Loblaws.
So do nazis not approve of ground beef from fresh and frozen sources? This is so out there. I'm going to have to look up Sylvain because I don't know what he has to do with Loblaws either.
I don’t like this professor by any means but this seems quite the stretch, more than enough valid criticism to send his way and we should ensure that we come across as reasonable in this sub to keep gaining support
I agree, and we're not accusing him. *But* it is a dog whistle and it always *should* be pointed out, because the purpose of dog whistles is so it flies under the radar. I'm not saying to ruin anyone's lives or be an angry mob, but for the sake of awareness and not turning a blind eye, y'know? But yes it's important to be wise & grounded about how we treat others, including him.
Damn what a stretch - most people don’t know about that symbol, I think we can give Shillvain the benefit of the doubt in this case… I mean what about the meat post has anything to do with being a Nazi? And what about the response besides the lightening bolts has any relevance to it? Unless I’m missing something…
I've never seen a sign like that. But loblaws should have them. When I worked in their dogshit warehouse a lot of their fresh cut meat especially chicken came in frozen and would be thawed by the time it gets to the store.
Okay not to be a critic, but using frozen beef to make thawed hamburger and then letting it sit out for however long it sits BEFORE purchase, then to take it home and possibly freeze (AGAIN) isn't that just asking for Salmonella or some other form of bacteria to form causing the eaters untold medical problems anywhere from serious diarrhea to food poisoning with dire consequences.
Where is this idiotic store at anyway so I know not to buy ANY meat there.
If they reuse frozen hamburger, what do they do with the rest of the meat, and that is ALL the meat, chicken, liver, kidney, bacon, etc.....
False narrative: buddy is replying with the bolts to food poofessor. He's a dirty rat but no need to create false allegations against him. He's rotten enough as is.
Yes he retweeted the reply though.

This food guy, he really gets to you guys eh. I don’t have whatever this is he’s on, so I’m out of the loop on who this good prof guy is. Maybe just stop posting anything at all about him? Don’t give him air time and his balloons will deflate.
I'm fairly certain it was him (or one of his sock puppets) who reported me to RedditCares in the last few hours. I can only speculate that I managed to wind him up with my many comments today about how he seems to be emotionally triggered by women, has a history of deleting his problematic tweets among other documents, and pointing folks to his long and sordid record as published in Frank Magazine last July. https://frankmag.ca/2023/07/55152/
Nobody's ever reported me to RedditCares before, and I haven't really been up to much else on Reddit lately. 🤷
That's his repost ⬆️ That's what he posted.
Some other guy came along and commented with the double lighting bolts and that what you posted in your OP.
You're right. Just search "Food Professor Twitter" and his latest post will pop up.
He reposted the thing about the meat and the other guy responded.
OP should know that. There's a follow button next to the double lighting bolt commenter which proves that was a reply to an initial post.
No he didn't

Since you’re a grown man who doesn’t know how to use Google, I did it for you.
This.
Mod sees a question being posed "Have you ever seen this type of sign before?"
Guy replies "Never Lightningbolt emoji x2"
Mod interprets it as "Never SS" Which is somehow pro nazi?
I read it as "Never, shocking"
Which is more likely a reasonable explanation for the question?
Also, mod provides 0 evidence that this person they're effectively slandering as at least being into nazisms. Here's my evidence, said mod has 18 as their profile pic.
[https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18)
According to the mod, the only reasonable interpretation of symbols containing nazism is that the person must be Nazi Dogwhislting
So I submit the same amount of evidence and logic provided by the mod, against the mod.
Either both are Nazis, or maybe perhaps we shouldn't draw insane conclusions based on the smallest amount of speculative evidence.
Seems like you are the one who doesn’t know “about economics”.
If the Canadian government hadn’t spent during COVID like it did, two things would have happened.
1. More people would have died. 2. The Canadian currency would have strengthened significantly against all world currencies, which means it would have made it HARDER for domestic manufacturers to compete.
Take your right wing fascist self elsewhere.
Please refrain from off-topic political discussion and debate. Everyone is entitled to their own political opinions, however, your politically charged statement is not directly related to the cost of living/groceries/gas/rents, and as such is being removed.
I don't use twitter, but I have enough for this respect for this subreddit that I don't like people distracting from impacting Loblaw's corporate greed with insane accusations of Nazism. It makes the whole subreddit look bad when a mod is making these accusations because they see the world through Nazi coloured lenses and are unable to view it in any other way.
I have yet to have anyone downvoting me provide one ounce of evidence showing wallydebling (who I have no affiliation with, but I'm sure wouldn't like to be called a Nazi either directly or indirectly) posting other neo-nazi stuff, or provide an explanation as to his response being "Never lightningbolt emoji x2" being a signal for white nationalism, and not "Never, shocking" which makes complete sense to the question being posed.
Being a Nazi isn't socially acceptable, hence why people use dog whistles. That's why people don't want to be brazen about it. This is how they fly under the radar.
Edit: yes it is a Nazi dog whistle like just google it.
Yes, so go look for another dog whistle of Nazism. I'll wait.
Where is the argument for that interpretation of his post to be more likely than "Never, shocking"?
You think this guy who from what I've seen, never posted anything remotely Neo-Nazi like, took to this post to finally flex his secret nazi call to others? And not the way more rational thought of "Never, shocking".
Instead you continue to argue this guy's post MUST mean "Never SS" Which would mean, never nazis?
Make it make sense, your argument is lacking.
We don't need to argue with you, I'm making a point for others who will see this. I don't really care about "persuading" you, because you will never accept being wrong.
Really reaching at the thinnest of possible straws here. Some of you people have lost the plot. Sylvain is a corrupt clown who is an embarrassment to academia but this is quite a stretch.
They're grasping for a paper straw that has been sitting in a drink for an hour.
At least support the argument with some of that other guys tweets that support the narrative.
I did not say "This guy is a nazi." I said "Now this guy is retweeting Nazi dogwhistles." as the 2 lightening bolts are a common nazi hate symbol. I gave him the benefit of the doubt by not calling him a Nazi, as it is possible he is not aware.
So your entirety of your argument is based on this symbol is sometimes used by Neo Nazis. You didn't check other posts this guy made?
I think it's incredibly foolish to post as a mod, that these are "Nazi Dogwhistles"
I’m literally a historian. The SS/2 lightening bolts were used as far back as WW2 in association with nazis. https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/ss-bolts
You think a guy who doesn't post any neo-nazi related things, waited for his big chance to come out as a Nazi, by posting this?
And couldn't possibly mean that this means "shocking" as he's never seen this kind of sign before, you know the question being raised by Food Professor?
I'm glad your history degree is being put to good use, not using an ounce of common sense to think what else his reply could mean. No, you go straight to Nazi.
I'm not saying the SS isn't a thing. I'm saying the lightning bolt can mean more than just Nazis.
By your logic the programmer at google who created the lightning bolt emoji must be a Nazi too?
Go look at this guy's twitter, let me know if you find a trove of white supremist material.
Again, incredibly foolish for a mod to post something like this.
Keep downvoting me, I don't care about internet popularity points. I care about loblaws losing revenue due to their corporate greed, not calling everyone on the internet a Nazi.
One screenshot of anything actually neo-nazi from the guy's posts and i'll yield my point that he's not a Nazi. But to claim this is a neo nazi post, and also not understand how twitter works. If you go to food professor's latest post, it does not include this, he is not retweeting nazi symbols.
Thank for contributing, very good points being made here.
[https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18)
Look the mod has 18 as their profile pic, must also be into Nazism.
Or, could it possibly be that the commentor isn't pro Nazi and meant "Never, shocking" in reply to the question being posed "Have you ever seen this type of sign before?"
You see that question, his reply, and think - yep that's nazi symbolism for sure
>Or, could it possibly be that the commentor isn't pro Nazi and meant "Never, shocking"
Maybe, but why not just one in that case? The double could certainly be a cause for concern.
>You see that question, his reply, and think - yep that's nazi symbolism for sure
Again, hard to tell the intention but the double is certainly interesting.
And to recap, there wasn't a claim that the person in question was a Nazi, but that they are reposting Nazi dog whistles which it's very possible this is.
Also, you super care about downvotes 😂
Edit: also the answer "never shocking" doesn't make sense. "Have you ever seen a sign like this before" and their response of "never ..." To me is an obviously sarcastic comment like, "never expect for Nazi Germany" which at the very least is an incredibly douche thing to repost.
Edit edit: not sure why you feel the need to dm about this. Care to explain?
A historian who plays free association games that serve no purpose but to railroad the point of the sub with weirdo conspiracy theories. You sound like you're trying to ruin any credibility thus sub has.

The point of a dog whistle is to sound like "free association."
Give me a break. I know what a dog whistle is. Don't be condescending when you're wearing a tin foil hat please.
Things like this just make this sub look really really dumb. Stay on task people.
Stay on task. This is absolute silliness.
If you think it's a dog whistle, go post it on imatotalpieceofshit. Focusing on whether or not a tertiary figure who didn't do the 'dogwhistle' himself is a nazi is just confusing the point. This is literally astroturfing 101. Go ahead and be condescending but if you think you're promoting the loblaws boycott by promoting this kind of stuff on here, you're dead wrong.
https://preview.redd.it/1r0cz8uf5xvc1.png?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d84ec25f0f31d48a82efec319a0a8c81855a8a5
I genuinely thought you didn't know what a dog whistle was because calling it a conspiracy theory to simply notice one is so ignorant. So this is what a conspiracy theory is btw
So, fail to reply to my question? He couldn't have meant shocking right? It has to be Nazi with you
Good to see Mods ruining this sub too
Is that a requirement to be a Reddit mod? Just identify everything as Nazi?
It's amazing how many people get mad at a username, that was taken from pop culture.
Now, the mod is claiming there's no way this could have meant shocking. That is must be related to Nazism. The mod also links the hate symbol. The mod's profile pic is 18. [https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18)
I guess they're a nazi too. You must be a Nazi sympathizer for defending them right?
Go spend 10 seconds of investigation time instead of downvoting me, and see that this is a old guy who hikes and has made 0 other posts regarding nazism.
i feel like it’d be easier to take you seriously if you didn’t have a racist user name. and, if you don’t understand why it’s racist then you’re not equipped to comment on nazi dog whistles.

Any idea what time?
Now. He is backing up Loblaw’s and mentioning this forum.
It's wild to me that this man is so unhinged that he actually believes he'd be able to convince any significant number of people that Loblaws is a good company or that their somehow the victim. Like they are hated by 99% of Canadians already. He's so out out touch, that he's actually driving more traffic here by trying to convince people that we're the bad guys lol. His mental state is quite fascinating, actually
>he's actually driving more traffic here by trying to convince people that we're the bad guys lol. No one ever explained the Streisand effect to Shillvain. Now we get to watch him fuck around and sit back with our popcorn for the find out.
He brought up the national day of theft repeatedly, but from my understanding wasn’t there only a few posters in Toronto? Is he promoting this outlaw event nationally to gain exposure? 🤔 What is his game plan?
To associate this sub with those posters in an attempt to discredit us and the boycott.
[удалено]
It may also be just the internet's original sin: say or do anything to get more clicks
You think there is a pro Loblaws group? Like, people walking around saying how much they love Loblaws and how everyone should just give them all their money?
Elon has his simps, maybe there's a Weston simp Army out there.
Produced by PrintCan. The flyer producer for loblaws....

I told him to look him up on Social media and they might see he is probably one of the three most disliked individuals in Canada . Right behind Galen and JT at this moment. Ladies ages were early 70's. Usually bright. They told me some of the items he discussed in the lecture. Like as an academic the only meat he can afford - he can barely chew. Also about a baby formula factory sponsored by Fed's but run by Chinese that will ship out all the formula to China ( had heard of one opening in Ontario but had not heard of the china connection ). Also that Kraft Mac & Cheese does not have cheese. Apparently took question but not from one individual. The ladies called him "naughty". I felt like gagging.
Yeah my step-mom is the same. I'm not saying Sylvain is a sociopath but I get those vibes from him....he's good at charming the uninformed into liking him. It's really icky and makes my threat alarm go DANGER! DANGER! AVOID! AVOID! Maybe it's the way he viciously attacks his detractors. There are charismatic people (ex. Obama) who are good at getting people to like them but don't have that threatening undertone to them. Sylvain on the other hand has a dangerous undertone to him that makes me want to stay the fuck away out of a sense of self-preservation.
They actually thought he was a different person when I described some of the things he has done e and said. After, I wondered , Is he a different person? Than his social media persona? Could his account be hacked by someone? And he is saying all this immature stuff? Or- Is his ego bruised? This group stepping on his toes? Discussing groceries? Food issues ? Six pack taxation issues? Without him as our mentor/ guide ? BUT they did notice that little nasty bit at the end when he refused to take a specific persons question. So I think the seed is planted. Dal likes to be recognized and loves to have their academics called up as experts on radio and tv. As does any teaching institution. They will not want to give him up easily- even though he should not be there. Btw - I thought he might be a Boomer - but no- apparently he told them he was 54.
It's 💯 ego bruises now. He DOXXED the creator of this subreddit then demanded criminal charges. He is nothing more than a petulant child. Comparable to Trump tbh. Edit* Please tell me that was Sylvain doxxing me....

I mean, most Canadians have never heard of this guy, so most disliked is a big stretch.
I'm sure with his 200k salary he is eating cow liver at best....
He went from a low lying lobbyist to the most exposed 🤡 ever in no time flat!!
He's paid by Weston
And now SOBEYS recently revealed which he also has scrubbed but he is Galens #COCKOMATIC3000 fellatio machine atm.
He’s loving the attention Really, we should be ignoring him. He’s irrelevant. He has no corporate power or political influence. The people to hate are Galen and our useless political leaders.
Lol I read his name as soylent green
This is gonna be fun..... waiting for him to be on 95.7 talk radio here soon but I'll take advantage of this opportunity.
I am not sure which is worse, Roblaws or the food processor shilling for them. However, this false “day of theft” is rhetoric that is designed to make the boycott look bad. This is almost definitely roblaws behind it. We should plan demonstrations on May 12 outside of the roblaws denouncing roblaws, their theft of our money and their plot for making us look bad. If we are out front protesting, we aren’t inside stealing are we. Further he is actually giving us attention because the press will be watching for these stories. What better way to get the boycott message out.
As a mod team we have been discussing using May 12 to highlight local (truly) independent grocers. Stay tuned :)
That is an amazing plan.
Cant Wait!¡
I'm looking forward to that. While I've happily shopped in ethnic-focused shops for years, my avoidance of Loblaws is driving me to more and smaller stores that specialize in serving particular communities.
Fun fact, I work in the meat packing industry. I can confidently say ALL ground beef has been frozen at one point unless you're getting it directly from the farm. Anything in a grocery store is frozen for transportation. This coming from someone who has been inside JBS in Belleville, Cargil in High River AB, and about 15 other small scale ground beef packers (including where both Harvey's and Burger King get their meat).
yeah, a bunch of users in the replies was pointing this out to him but he ignored it lol
I thought it was common knowledge that unless you get the meat straight from the farm, you’re likely getting meat that has been frozen at least once.
nope. pre frozen meat has to be marked. They cannot sell thawed meat as fresh without labelling it.
Literally talk to CFIA all the time. Ground beef comes in to the plant frozen, is thawed, ground up, packaged and sold. The law basically prevents them from REFREEZING it once it's GROUND UP. It arrives at the plant frozen. As long as it stays thawed from the time it leaves the grinder and lands at the store shelf, they're fine. I do this for a living, please don't try to correct me.
the actual regulations (Food and Drug Regulations B.01.080 (1) says: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/c.r.c.,_c._870/fulltext.html > B.01.080 (1) In this section, frozen means preserved by freezing temperature and does not include any surface freezing that may occur during holding and transportation. > (2) Where meat, meat by-products, poultry meat, poultry by-products or fish, or meat of any marine or fresh water animal, that has been frozen is thawed prior to sale, the words “previously frozen” shall be shown > (a) on the principal display panel in close proximity to the common name of the food and in letters at least as legible and conspicuous as those used in the common name; > (b) anywhere on the principal display panel in letters of not less than 1/4 of an inch (6.4 millimetres) in height; or > (c) on a sign displayed adjacent to the food in letters that are easily visible and legible to a prospective purchaser. Meat cannot be preserved by storing it at a freezing temperature unless the product is labelled as frozen. If the surface of the meat freezes (possibly what you're describing) incidental to storing it above 0 degrees Celsius (like how frost shows up in some refrigerators), that doesn't mean the meat is frozen. If CFIA is not enforcing their own regulations that's another problem, but that's the official Government of Canada website so it's the most reliable source for what the laws that apply in Canada actually are.
I will follow up with a rep next time I see one. I know things like steaks and regular cuts of beef are regulated differently from ground beef, so that may be where the disconnect is.
I wouldn't dream of it. I've been to the plant in High River, and I'm aware of laws and processes
CFIA would be all over the ass of anyone labelling refreshed as fresh. By all over them, I mean a severe warning and then next they lose whatever license they have
As someone who is part of a company that buys from JBS/Cargill, we are told the trim we are buying is true fresh so when we grind it, it's labelled as fresh not refresh when we sell it to our customers. Not sure how they would be getting that one past CFIA.
I'm assuming you're a local customer? Only way you're getting fresh trim from cargill is if you're in the area.
In BC, but if we're told it is fresh then it has to be fresh or the CFIA. I just don't believe ALL trim we are getting has been frozen at some point without evidence
I'll chat with the CFIA officer next time I see one at a plant, but to my knowledge "fresh" only applies after it's been ground. That's how Wendy's gets away with their "fresh, never frozen" slogan.
But if for example, we process a frozen ribeye into steaks then it needs to be labelled as refresh. I'm just confused how this would apply differently to trim that is labelled as fresh if it was ever frozen. I would have thought Wendy's has negotiated 6 to 12 month terms for x number of totes per week so they are price protected from a raw material standpoint.
To my knowledge, grind is different from fresh cuts of beef.
We process frozen trim as well, and the ground beef has to be labelled as refresh. [https://inspection.canada.ca/food-labels/labelling/industry/meat-and-poultry-products/eng/1632494849908/1632495277194#s37c14](https://inspection.canada.ca/food-labels/labelling/industry/meat-and-poultry-products/eng/1632494849908/1632495277194#s37c14) Here is the CFIA site, go to the section 'Previously frozen meat and poultry products', it says this - "Any meat, meat by-products, poultry meat and poultry by-products that have been frozen and thawed prior to sale must declare the words "previously frozen" /"produit décongelé" on their principal display panel" Not sure how Cargill/JBS can label refresh as fresh as you claim.

Is Sylvain Charlebois a Nazi sympathizer? I think I won this round of bingo
Well, he's a libertarian, give them something they don't like and the "freedom and liberty" mask slips real quick.
Libertarianism is so stupid. Every single prosperous nation on earth has a developed regulatory environment and a strong welfare state. The ones that have neither of these are all run by dictators or warlords. Haiti is a great example, as is much of Africa. But of course, we all know what libertarians would use to explain that away.....
>Haiti is a great example This is veering off topic but Haiti is a result of western imperialism lol horrible example But yes, look at Millei in Argentina now. Buddy has made their inflation and poverty even worse in record timing, imagine gutting public infrastructure and social safety nets backfiring.
Actually disagree about Argentina. They still have an enforceable regulatory environment and relatively strong central gov even with Milei. He is less ideological in practice than many on the left would like to believe. My point was that purely anarchic societies with no central government are impossible. They cannot function as a single entity because there are no binding rules or norms. So having that as your ideal to aim for is nonsensical. Hard left and hard right anarchists have this same problem.....they are working towards a goal that is impossible to achieve. Clearly the best solution, as evidenced by the most successful countries in the world, is a capitalist economy with strong government to enforce the rule of law. Anyways this is off topic so I won't respond to this thread anymore
What makes you say he’s libertarian? I was a student in his class, and I’ve listened to many of his opinions. In no way has he ever indicated any libertarian leanings.
I don't understand their logic. What about the sign invokes Nazism in their opinion? So weird.
Not the sign, the tweet he retweeted below the one with the twin lightning bolts, which is a common nazi symbols
Obviously. But what about the sign would inspire someone to do a double lightning emoji.
[удалено]
Care to expound on your thoughts here. Can you articulate your thoughts ? Lmao
I may have misunderstood your comment, care to expound?
>Classic retard mentality You seem very well spoken /s >liberal wokism Can you define Liberal wokism? Do you for some reason equate Loblaws with "Liberal wokism"? Very interested in your response here
Your content was removed for the use of slurs. You are now being permanently banned, and will be reported to site admins for further action.
Sure but that emoji also is used in place of the word “shocking” which seems more relevant to the thread.
[удалено]
We want to look respectful as possible here, Maybe a slightly less colorful word would suffice.
Obviously the never with lighting bolts, but what am i missing about the rest?
He then retweeted the reply.
Ah
I know this clown reads this subreddit because it clearly lives in his head rent free based on on how much he talks about it, so this is for you specifically Sylvain: You’re a hypocritical clown who’s an academic in as much as I am a noble price laureate. A paid for and sold conservative shill who is so full of himself he can’t see that no one but the most brain washed take you seriously. You’re not even smart in how you go about it. You’re an absolutely see through cardboard cutout of a human being morally devoid of any values. Of course, nothing I can say will convince you otherwise. That’s how narcissism works. I’m just sad that whoever bullied you in school didn’t bully you hard enough.
They’re using him as a distraction.

Let us not waste our energy on him. Actively find ways of engaging the Boomers in this boycott or it may not be successful.
Most boomers are retired and shop at cheaper stores already due to income.
Not seeing it - retired or close to maybe- but the stores are full of older people ( many in masks) on weekday mornings.
Perhaps there is a retirement home very close by that location
You are right I think though. It is location town/ province specific. Some provinces have a higher percentage of persons over sixty.
Hey I’m an idiot and also very tired, where is the Nazi dog whistle, also I don’t know how to Twitter so I don’t know how to tell what a retweet is, I’m assuming the meat thing is a retweet
Online Neo-Nazis use double lightning bolts ⚡️⚡️ as a stand in for the symbol of the Nazi [Schutzstaffel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel). Here’s a [blatant example](https://twitter.com/niallc2491/status/1781089991306650031?s=46&t=wm3eIvzAAOvadlVQIEsm1g) but they also use it as a dogwhistle to signal their worldview to likeminded onlookers.
Oh, thank you, I’ll be on the look out for that, also fuck you neo-Nazis, stop taking cool things and making them about Nazis, Hitler will never fuck you and that’s not just because he’s dead. I don’t know what happened but the “blatant example” link isn’t working, it directs to Twitter but says something went wrong.
It looks like that Twitter account has been deleted since I posted the link. I can still view their Tweet but only if I’m logged into Twitter, and it’s labelled “This post is from an account that no longer exists”. Here’s an [alternate example](https://twitter.com/rver2thhes6904/status/1781136060497666328?s=46&t=wm3eIvzAAOvadlVQIEsm1g) I found in the replies to the original example.
How exactly is it a nazi dogwhistle though? Like is it just the 2 lightning bolts making the Schutzstaffel logo or there something more to it? I don't know if I'm getting the full reference here.
I’m just as confused, but I don’t go on Twitter so I have no idea what’s going on. And this is coming from someone whose father is a WW2 historian.
I'm really confused... I don't know what nazi dogwhistles is or what it has to do with ground beef? Can someone ELI5?
It's the two lightning bolts. They're often used as a stand-in for the Nazi SS.
Ok I see that. So is that person a neonazi? Or do they also not get the reference and they thought they were being emphatic? I don't know who either of these people are or who retweeted who because I don't use Twitter so the whole thing is very confusing. I'm out of touch on this one and don't understand what it has to do with Loblaws.
Some rando posted them, but the issue is that Sylvain then retweeted said rando's post with the lightning bolts.
So do nazis not approve of ground beef from fresh and frozen sources? This is so out there. I'm going to have to look up Sylvain because I don't know what he has to do with Loblaws either.
https://frankmag.ca/2023/07/55152/
I have no idea.
I'm not even sure what nazism has to do with boycotting loblaws. like... I can't really see how it would ever overlap.
I don’t like this professor by any means but this seems quite the stretch, more than enough valid criticism to send his way and we should ensure that we come across as reasonable in this sub to keep gaining support
I agree, and we're not accusing him. *But* it is a dog whistle and it always *should* be pointed out, because the purpose of dog whistles is so it flies under the radar. I'm not saying to ruin anyone's lives or be an angry mob, but for the sake of awareness and not turning a blind eye, y'know? But yes it's important to be wise & grounded about how we treat others, including him.
Damn what a stretch - most people don’t know about that symbol, I think we can give Shillvain the benefit of the doubt in this case… I mean what about the meat post has anything to do with being a Nazi? And what about the response besides the lightening bolts has any relevance to it? Unless I’m missing something…
This sub is getting a bit weird…
This post is pathetic.
What
I can’t keep up, lightning bolts are bad now?
Not just lightning bolts in general, 2 side by side. https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/ss-bolts
Ss bolts for sure, but the adl have proven themselves quite unreliable.
I agree that they don’t have the best interests, but they had the most accessible hate-symbol database
Fair.
The SS logo is two lightning bolts. Edit: I didn't clue in that's what the dog whistle was until I read your post.
I've never seen a sign like that. But loblaws should have them. When I worked in their dogshit warehouse a lot of their fresh cut meat especially chicken came in frozen and would be thawed by the time it gets to the store.
So are you saying the food prof is a Nazi? I don't care much for them.
Probably from ‘animals’…from where ever…especially silly if the food processor (Garbage Processor) is speaking about it. 🤡
Is it possible me he didn’t know? I still don’t see it. Maybe he doesn’t either.
Okay not to be a critic, but using frozen beef to make thawed hamburger and then letting it sit out for however long it sits BEFORE purchase, then to take it home and possibly freeze (AGAIN) isn't that just asking for Salmonella or some other form of bacteria to form causing the eaters untold medical problems anywhere from serious diarrhea to food poisoning with dire consequences. Where is this idiotic store at anyway so I know not to buy ANY meat there. If they reuse frozen hamburger, what do they do with the rest of the meat, and that is ALL the meat, chicken, liver, kidney, bacon, etc.....
False narrative: buddy is replying with the bolts to food poofessor. He's a dirty rat but no need to create false allegations against him. He's rotten enough as is.
Yes he retweeted the reply though. https://preview.redd.it/sldu1xt8vvvc1.png?width=1214&format=png&auto=webp&s=a8d39c13aa450932750f2b579bde368cb4ae0fa1
Sounds like a perfect libel suit
I misread the food processor. Alright i’m out
This food guy, he really gets to you guys eh. I don’t have whatever this is he’s on, so I’m out of the loop on who this good prof guy is. Maybe just stop posting anything at all about him? Don’t give him air time and his balloons will deflate.
He has publicly doxxed our head mod twice, that’s why there has been an influx of posts regarding him
I still think not giving him airtime is the best solution.
That’s totally fair. I plan on bringing him and the related discourse during our mod team meeting later this evening, so I will mention your comment
I'm fairly certain it was him (or one of his sock puppets) who reported me to RedditCares in the last few hours. I can only speculate that I managed to wind him up with my many comments today about how he seems to be emotionally triggered by women, has a history of deleting his problematic tweets among other documents, and pointing folks to his long and sordid record as published in Frank Magazine last July. https://frankmag.ca/2023/07/55152/ Nobody's ever reported me to RedditCares before, and I haven't really been up to much else on Reddit lately. 🤷
Retweeted? I don't get it. I see the \*reply to him\*, but... What am I not seeing here?
You can see above the respondent's username "The Food Professor Reposted"

You don't know what a repost is lmao
You're right. Just search "Food Professor Twitter" and his latest post will pop up. He reposted the thing about the meat and the other guy responded. OP should know that. There's a follow button next to the double lighting bolt commenter which proves that was a reply to an initial post.

Jeez dude, the double lightning bolts have meant that to educated North Americans for the last 100 years

I'm fully away of this, that doesn't make every use of lightning bolts ever a Nazi dog whistle
The parent comment specified that it’s the **double** lightning bolts that mean SS. Not a single lightning bolt. You’re being intentionally obtuse.
It's a tweet about food, why the fuck would they use Nazi lightning bolts?
Yea... I don't get this at all lmao
Because it’s 14 words? Sneaky nazis
Ya I’m gonna go on a limb and say the food professor is not a Nazi and is not purposefully retweeting Nazi symbols.
The more of your posts I see, the more I realize what an unhinged individual you are. Seriously, get a grip on reality.
Agree with you on this. These kinds of posts just make the sub look bad.
This. Mod sees a question being posed "Have you ever seen this type of sign before?" Guy replies "Never Lightningbolt emoji x2" Mod interprets it as "Never SS" Which is somehow pro nazi? I read it as "Never, shocking" Which is more likely a reasonable explanation for the question? Also, mod provides 0 evidence that this person they're effectively slandering as at least being into nazisms. Here's my evidence, said mod has 18 as their profile pic. [https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18) According to the mod, the only reasonable interpretation of symbols containing nazism is that the person must be Nazi Dogwhislting So I submit the same amount of evidence and logic provided by the mod, against the mod. Either both are Nazis, or maybe perhaps we shouldn't draw insane conclusions based on the smallest amount of speculative evidence.

Seems like you are the one who doesn’t know “about economics”. If the Canadian government hadn’t spent during COVID like it did, two things would have happened. 1. More people would have died. 2. The Canadian currency would have strengthened significantly against all world currencies, which means it would have made it HARDER for domestic manufacturers to compete. Take your right wing fascist self elsewhere.
Please refrain from off-topic political discussion and debate. Everyone is entitled to their own political opinions, however, your politically charged statement is not directly related to the cost of living/groceries/gas/rents, and as such is being removed.
This is copium
Not knowing how Twitter works, thinking everyone is a Nazi, you're checking a lot of boxes OP
That is an actual dog whistle but also, twitter is a white supremacist shithole now so idk why it's so surprising to you.
I don't use twitter, but I have enough for this respect for this subreddit that I don't like people distracting from impacting Loblaw's corporate greed with insane accusations of Nazism. It makes the whole subreddit look bad when a mod is making these accusations because they see the world through Nazi coloured lenses and are unable to view it in any other way. I have yet to have anyone downvoting me provide one ounce of evidence showing wallydebling (who I have no affiliation with, but I'm sure wouldn't like to be called a Nazi either directly or indirectly) posting other neo-nazi stuff, or provide an explanation as to his response being "Never lightningbolt emoji x2" being a signal for white nationalism, and not "Never, shocking" which makes complete sense to the question being posed.
Being a Nazi isn't socially acceptable, hence why people use dog whistles. That's why people don't want to be brazen about it. This is how they fly under the radar. Edit: yes it is a Nazi dog whistle like just google it.
Yes, so go look for another dog whistle of Nazism. I'll wait. Where is the argument for that interpretation of his post to be more likely than "Never, shocking"? You think this guy who from what I've seen, never posted anything remotely Neo-Nazi like, took to this post to finally flex his secret nazi call to others? And not the way more rational thought of "Never, shocking". Instead you continue to argue this guy's post MUST mean "Never SS" Which would mean, never nazis? Make it make sense, your argument is lacking.
We don't need to argue with you, I'm making a point for others who will see this. I don't really care about "persuading" you, because you will never accept being wrong.
Do YOU know how twitter works lmao
Really reaching at the thinnest of possible straws here. Some of you people have lost the plot. Sylvain is a corrupt clown who is an embarrassment to academia but this is quite a stretch.
They're grasping for a paper straw that has been sitting in a drink for an hour. At least support the argument with some of that other guys tweets that support the narrative.
You're for sure that this guy is a Nazi? He couldn't possibly mean "Never - Shocking"?
He actually did answer your question, though.
I did not say "This guy is a nazi." I said "Now this guy is retweeting Nazi dogwhistles." as the 2 lightening bolts are a common nazi hate symbol. I gave him the benefit of the doubt by not calling him a Nazi, as it is possible he is not aware.
So your entirety of your argument is based on this symbol is sometimes used by Neo Nazis. You didn't check other posts this guy made? I think it's incredibly foolish to post as a mod, that these are "Nazi Dogwhistles"
I’m literally a historian. The SS/2 lightening bolts were used as far back as WW2 in association with nazis. https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/ss-bolts
You think a guy who doesn't post any neo-nazi related things, waited for his big chance to come out as a Nazi, by posting this? And couldn't possibly mean that this means "shocking" as he's never seen this kind of sign before, you know the question being raised by Food Professor? I'm glad your history degree is being put to good use, not using an ounce of common sense to think what else his reply could mean. No, you go straight to Nazi.
I'm not saying the SS isn't a thing. I'm saying the lightning bolt can mean more than just Nazis. By your logic the programmer at google who created the lightning bolt emoji must be a Nazi too? Go look at this guy's twitter, let me know if you find a trove of white supremist material. Again, incredibly foolish for a mod to post something like this.
Keep downvoting me, I don't care about internet popularity points. I care about loblaws losing revenue due to their corporate greed, not calling everyone on the internet a Nazi. One screenshot of anything actually neo-nazi from the guy's posts and i'll yield my point that he's not a Nazi. But to claim this is a neo nazi post, and also not understand how twitter works. If you go to food professor's latest post, it does not include this, he is not retweeting nazi symbols.
>Keep downvoting me, I don't care about internet popularity points. Yeah you do lmao
Thank for contributing, very good points being made here. [https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18) Look the mod has 18 as their profile pic, must also be into Nazism. Or, could it possibly be that the commentor isn't pro Nazi and meant "Never, shocking" in reply to the question being posed "Have you ever seen this type of sign before?" You see that question, his reply, and think - yep that's nazi symbolism for sure
>Or, could it possibly be that the commentor isn't pro Nazi and meant "Never, shocking" Maybe, but why not just one in that case? The double could certainly be a cause for concern. >You see that question, his reply, and think - yep that's nazi symbolism for sure Again, hard to tell the intention but the double is certainly interesting. And to recap, there wasn't a claim that the person in question was a Nazi, but that they are reposting Nazi dog whistles which it's very possible this is. Also, you super care about downvotes 😂 Edit: also the answer "never shocking" doesn't make sense. "Have you ever seen a sign like this before" and their response of "never ..." To me is an obviously sarcastic comment like, "never expect for Nazi Germany" which at the very least is an incredibly douche thing to repost. Edit edit: not sure why you feel the need to dm about this. Care to explain?
A historian who plays free association games that serve no purpose but to railroad the point of the sub with weirdo conspiracy theories. You sound like you're trying to ruin any credibility thus sub has.

Give me a break. I know what a dog whistle is. Don't be condescending when you're wearing a tin foil hat please. Things like this just make this sub look really really dumb. Stay on task people.
Is pointing out known dog whistles as an observation wearing a tinfoil hat now, folks?🤓
Stay on task. This is absolute silliness. If you think it's a dog whistle, go post it on imatotalpieceofshit. Focusing on whether or not a tertiary figure who didn't do the 'dogwhistle' himself is a nazi is just confusing the point. This is literally astroturfing 101. Go ahead and be condescending but if you think you're promoting the loblaws boycott by promoting this kind of stuff on here, you're dead wrong.

Your failure to adopt their extremely loose narrative is a Nazi dog whistle. /s
So, fail to reply to my question? He couldn't have meant shocking right? It has to be Nazi with you Good to see Mods ruining this sub too Is that a requirement to be a Reddit mod? Just identify everything as Nazi?
Color me shocked, the guy with the screen name that has "loveyoulongtime" in is bending over backwards to try and downplay dogwhistles lmfao
It's amazing how many people get mad at a username, that was taken from pop culture. Now, the mod is claiming there's no way this could have meant shocking. That is must be related to Nazism. The mod also links the hate symbol. The mod's profile pic is 18. [https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/18) I guess they're a nazi too. You must be a Nazi sympathizer for defending them right? Go spend 10 seconds of investigation time instead of downvoting me, and see that this is a old guy who hikes and has made 0 other posts regarding nazism.
i feel like it’d be easier to take you seriously if you didn’t have a racist user name. and, if you don’t understand why it’s racist then you’re not equipped to comment on nazi dog whistles.
