Edit: the other cancer is the Irving family. They own Cavendish, Irving oil, owned ALL the media in the maritimes - all, and love destroying ocean, forest, and farmland.

I agree 100%. It gave me an idea - a website showing the true cost of common items. For example, what does it cost for an industrial bakery to bake, package, and ship a loaf of bread?
Even if people knew how much they were getting ripped off, what are they supposed to do about it? What is the alternative?
If every brand of bread in the store is sold at a insane markup, and you need bread, what do you? Make your own? That’s a hit or miss process that can take a while if you don’t have a fancy bread maker. They either need to save to get a bread maker or find time between their maybe 2 or 3 jobs to make the bread.
FYI
Galen Weston, the asshole Canadian billionaire mentioned, lives in a fucking castle that was built for the British royal family. https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21072968/forgotten-royal-castle-windsor/
Weston is also involved in real estate, (PCREIT) like many other billionaires.
This is also why you can’t afford rent, or buy a house.
Galen Weston made 500 million in profit (in ONE quarter) as he gouged Canadians during the pandemic. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/loblaw-revenue-q4-2022-1.6757480
Their shitty in house brand coffee went from 7.99 to 19.99 per tin.
A box of 400g cereal at one of their shoppers drug mart brand stores will cost you $8 now.
A tub of 454g(1lb) margarine $8.
They’ve previously been found guilty of price fixing bread. (Weston co. makes breads) https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bread-price-fixing-loblaw-1.6719884
The Weston family is a cancer on this land.

I switched to the locally owned grocery Polish grocery store. At least I’m not putting money in Galen’s pocket.
Since Kim phat was bought by metro, I verify because sometimes they’re stealthily owned by the big 3
Starsky is locally owned.
Hutch however is a bought man
Never again.
