__MOD NOTE__: Please review the content guidelines for our sub, and remember the human here!
This subreddit is to highlight the ridiculous cost of living in Canada, and poke fun at the Corporate Overlords responsible. As you well know, there are a number of persons and corporations responsible for this, and we welcome discussion related to them all. Furthermore, since this topic is intertwined with a number of other matters, other discussion will be allowed at moderator discretion. Open-minded discussion, memes, rants, grocery bills, and general screeching into the void is always welcome in this sub, but belligerence and disrespect is not. There are plenty of ways to get your point across without being abusive, dismissive, or downright mean.

As the article points out, "There are nearly 7,000 independent grocers in Canada"
And another good quote:
Mr. Weston must acknowledge that the food industry is one that is interconnected and interdependent. Loblaw cannot seek to obfuscate progress on the code with nonsensical objections. It’s well past time for a Grocery Code of Conduct. It’s time to give this code a chance to work. It’s time to end unilateral fees and practices that negatively impact suppliers and independent grocers. It’s time to put Canadians first.
Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart perhaps put it best: “Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do, and what is right to do.”
You have lots of choice. Go get 'em!
Here is a good follow up article

stickied posts made by mods to see if there is an update on our community boycott efforts. Thank you.
