Loblaws literally just announced their quarterly results which included a 9.8% increase in profit year over year. Unless they are claiming that the incrsased profit comes from goods that aren't food then Weston is lying through his teeth.

Unfortunately for consumers the company cares about their shareholders first and don't give a shit about those who can't afford to eat.
