Agreed, I’m just explaining why Loblaws gets undue attention. Sobeys is half the size of Loblaws and Loblaws has a way bigger presence in Southern Ontario.
I don’t think they get off the hook exactly, I just think journalists go for the bigger target. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen a headline like “Your iPhone is about to explode and kill you!” and it turns out it’s literally about any device with a lithium-ion battery. It’s just to grab attention.
