The industry’s trade association, the Retail Council of Canada, said the new policy “unfortunately” targets large grocers exclusively.

“Which is impractical, as Canadian retailers lack direct control and influence over the global supply chain,” said Michelle Wasylyshen, the council’s national spokesperson.

Vote with your bulging wallets.

You’re the ones who choose what products you put on your store shelves.

I was addressing g my comment to the companies - they’re the ones with the fat wallets, they can choose what to put on their shelves.

You should clarify that you’re talking about the retailers, not the consumers. It took me a couple tries to get it and I don’t think any of the other commenters did.

I was hoping it was clear that I was addressing my comments to the people who choose what to put on store shelves.

Or maybe we could just expect better out of companies without them needing a profit motive just to do the right thing.

Crazy idea, expecting people to do the right thing without being paid for it.

Not really as a lot of stores don’t have equally-priced options. Packaged produce is often much cheaper than loose and prices being what they are, many of us have to choose the cheaper option.

The gov’t is supposed to be here to protect us, not the businesses that force us to buy what they offer.
