For those looking to participate in the community boycott starting May 1st

  • We are boycotting Loblaw and Loblaw owned stores for the entire month of May 2024 (obviously you can boycott past this point in time)

  • We are asking for a reduction in prices by 15%

  • We are asking Loblaw remove “member only pricing” where customers are forced to sign up for a PC optimum card in order to receive sale prices

  • If shopping is taking place at Loblaw stores, we are focusing on purchasing loss leaders

      My first thought was “wait, Sobey’s is owned by Loblaws?!” I think there should have been a distinction between “we’re boycotting these guys” and “we’re not boycotting these guys.”

      Loblaws doesn’t profit directly from them, and are not owned by Loblaws.

      Is the Loblaws boycott actually a “Boycott all non-co-op/mom-and-pop stores”?

        Loblaws does not have a $33B valuation from loblaws supermarket alone. They include NoFrills, Shoppers Drug Mart, etc in their quarterly and year-end financial reports.

          But they don’t own Sobeys, Safeway, IGA, Metro, or about 2/3 of stores in the picture
