Loblaws is out of control

A sub devoted to highlighting the ridiculous cost of living in Canada right now. We’d like to thank our corporate overlord Galen Weston Jr. of Loblaws for continually raising grocery prices so he can get a big fat bonus cheque every year while the rest of Canadians struggle to make ends meet.

The orange and the blue portions need to be larger.

We gotta force each grocer chain other than orange down to 9.9% market share.

What does "Other" encapsulate, anyway? The only independent grocers I ever see are ethnic grocers and in my area they tend to be expensive.

Pattison Group (Saveonfoods) is another big chain in BC and Western Canada.

Is that the same Pattison as the car dealerships that seem to be all over? Also, isn’t there a Pattison Media or am I misremembering a radio ad?

You're correct! They're in the Auto Business, the Television and Radio business, the advertising billboard business, owner of Ripleys (if you can Believe it or Not), publisher of Guinness Book of World Records, and a handful of other industries.
