Is anyone else boycotting Loblaws? I don't have many alternatives, but I'm doing my best to take my business elsewhere.

If we respond to this, does it count as virtue signaling?

I avoided going to the bi-weekly coke sale at Shopper's Drug Mart. Looks like I'll be pouring my drinks a bit rich for the next little while. Ever since Loblaws bought them and the subsequent price increase, I've been less confident that it really is the loss-leader I've been led to believe it was. Then, my wife had a prescription faxed there since our local pharmacy had already closed for the day.

I grumbled about it and had it transferred to the co-op, since I had been meaning to get set up there (3rd party insurance and all).

It's more like personal accountability. If I tell people that I'm doing this, then I'm less likely to give it up in a couple of days.
