It somehow seems very Canadian that the "huge Canadian grocery companies are illegally overcharging/underweighting meat again after they got caught a year ago and promised they'd solved that 'error'" scandal is getting less press than the "some maple syrup producer in Quebec got caught selling fake maple syrup containing >50% cane sugar" scandal.

With Electronic Shelf Labels (#esl), you might wanna rethink how you do #shopping
Because major retailers like #walmart #sobeys etc will most likely start optimising prices using algorithms. If they aren't already.
Personally, a few months ago, I started shopping at Giant Tiger.
It's a smaller Canadian retailer and I don't think they're there yet.

Who is in charge of consumer refuse "recycling" in many parts of #canada, including my town in #NewBrunswick?
Why it's none other than executives from many of the enormous conglomerates that create & distribute all the plastic packaging in the first place!
#loblaws, #sobeys, #metro, #mcDonalds, #pepsi, #coke, #procterAndGamble, #nestle, #rbi (#timHortons, #burgerKing, #popeyes) etc.

No matter how many times I email them asking, they will not reveal what they're doing with all that collected plastic they're going to "recycle".
We already know that the vast majority of plastic to be recycled never is: it finds its way to places like #india:
But at the same time #cbc is perfectly happy to pretend along with the "big lie" they've uncovered by refusing to use any critical thinking when covering local implementations of these projects:
Sure, *our* landfill may have less shit in it, but it had to go *somewhere*, and that somewhere is NOT back into "the circular economy". It goes to pollute some distant shore, to affect some distant population, to ruin the lives of others. It's RACISM.
Pats on the back and kudos all around to us *resourceful #Canadians*.
