Good article with only one error, 'Uncharacteristic of Cdn social movements'

This is incorrect. The extremist left have decided that one either conforms or is declared apostate. All social movements in Cda are now authoritarian which demand subjugation to the declared greivance.

The Reddit group #LoblawIsOutOfControl , which was established in October 2023, appears to have had no impact on Loblaw's financial performance during Q1. In fact, Loblaw's financial results have exceeded expectations.

The Food Professor Who is funding this lobby group?

Perhaps we should know a little more about them.

Jagmeet Singh Hey, if you don’t like profits, do like I do, buy your groceries at Co-op, They give the profits back in the form of membership dividends. Also please grow up and encourage competition rather than discourage it.

ICYMI: I wrote about the Loblaw boycott being planned for May, as shoppers' frustrations with the major grocers continue to rise.

I talked to boycott participants, an organizer, an expert in food access and consumer wellbeing -- and the new CEO of Loblaw.

The world unites in Newfoundland. Had dinner last night in St-John's with the esteemed Ian Lee from the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University. A well-known business commentator, it was our first in-person meeting after all these years.

He's a true inspiration to me.
