Its a grocery monopoly here in Canada, so unless you're Canadian you may not be familiar with their treachery

Thanks. Are the posts inspired by the boycotts?

I thought the grocery monopoly in Canada was Tim Horton's

There are 2 Tim Horton's, both of which are disappointments.

  1. a hockey player who got really, really drunk, did some barbiturates, then drove so fast that when they crashed the car flipped several times, and they died about 40m away.

  2. A fast food chain that uses their phone to illegally track you (even when the app was closed), and the Privacy Commissioner of Canada decided that was okay as long as they gave everyone a coffee and a donut. The material cost for those items is well under a dollar. They also don't make their baked goods at the stores.
