    They were forced to stop preventing competition, by the government.

    "Mistakes" like crediting a scofflaw who was caught, for the morality they were required to adopt, reduces the trust we apply to your paper.

    Surely you see that?

    Coercive control, monopolistic control, bribery, regulatory control is how we got billionaires.

    Billionaires are our problem.

    The guy providing food made a billion dollars overcharging us

  2. 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.

  3. Guess who got caught selling underweight meat… again! Empire (Sobeys) and Loblaw

  4. Grocery prices are unsustainable. Feels like double in five years. 😕

    Loblaws, Sobeys, and Metro slap on "local" stickers, but where's the actual effort to open up local and regional supply chains and support Canadian food sovereignty?

    The largest grocery chains in Canada aren't acting very "Canadian" at all.

    We deserve better, and our farmers deserve better!

  5. In the last months, I've been paying more attention to labels, especially while shopping groceries.

    That's because I want to purchase products made in #canada instead of the USA

    But another thing that I've noticed is that so many products are coming from very few companies.

    - #loblaws
    - #metro
    - #sobeys
    - etc

    Shouldn't we be worried about that? Few companies controlling all the canadian retail?

  8. After 3 months' use I can recommend #FoodHero as a very good #app that does actually help quite a bit with saving money on #groceries. If you're #Canadian and shop at #Sobeys, I recommend downloading it foodhero.com and giving it a spin to see if you like it. My promo code is arielk3 - if you use it, both you and I get $5 to play with.

  9. Sneaky little hobbitses, wicked, tricksy, false. Come on, #Sobeys; you can do better. #ProductOfCanada 🇨🇦

  10. Canadian supermarkets overcharging customers by selling underweighted meat, according to CBC investigation.

    Well, I could have told CBC that, needn’t have conducted an investigation.

    The reason we stopped going to Chalo Freshco, part of the #Sobeys empire, was for this very reason. #bcpoli #RipOff
