Surging Loblaw boycott shows customer anger with grocery giant, says Mount Pearl organizer
  • 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.

    Petition - Stop Daylight Saving Time in Canada - Change.org
  • 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. 🙂

    Banned in Europe, this controversial ingredient is allowed in foods here
  • I wouldn't panic. Health scares happen every now and then. This one may be more serious since it's already banned in Europe. Takes a lot to get substances banned in Canada. BHT, Glyphosate (RoundUp), Aspartame, Sucralose, MSG, etc, have all been under scrutiny at one point or another, and they are still all with us after failing to repeatedly demonstrate danger.
