Is anyone else boycotting Loblaws? I don’t have many alternatives, but I’m doing my best to take my business elsewhere.
I’d love to but I live in a small town with only 2 grocery stores. No Frills and Metro. I have to drive 30 minutes to another town if I want to shop somewhere else. They’re both expensive so I usually end up going to both and looking for sales.
I have doubts that this boycott will actually make a difference. The world is fucked and controlled by the rich. The only way things will ever change is if the working class band together and force change. But we’re all too busy arguing amongst eachother about meaningless shit to do that.
American here. Just want to voice my support for this effort. Consumers are long overdue in striking back at companies making record profits from our necessities.
Give those hosers hell, eh.
