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.

Edit: the other cancer is the Irving family. They own Cavendish, Irving oil, owned ALL the media in the maritimes - all, and love destroying forest and farmland. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Group_of_Companies
