The truth is that Loblaws is working as intended within capitalism. They need continuous profit. The CEO swears an oath to shareholders to prioritize profit quarter after quarter ad infinitum. Prices of everything will always increase, otherwise the investors bail and the house of cards collapses. No boycott is going to ultimately change that. They are always playing a game of: "How high can we increase prices today without people rioting?"

What may help is regulating how prices increase or maybe a crown corporation that isn't driven by endless profit.

Can't imagine I'd take advantage of it. I'm still waiting on a postal savings system in Canada.

With all the price gouging happening and shrinkflation, changing consumer habits could spell the end of food.

I'm not sure about these "change" petitions which always seemed to me as just a way to gather user data. But, go to the House of Commons website where you will be able to view actual petitions to the government of Canada. There, you can sign them and/or create your own. If you're lucky, the government may even respond with some thoughts/excuses. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'll add hitting on the mannequins and slapping their asses when I walk by.

FYI, that means 15% of Canadians don't have a doctor.

Well, if it's your house, just know that many many people would consider themselves very lucky to be in your position. That may help keep things in perspective.
