A new study by Léger has assessed Canadians’ perceptions on the Loblaws boycott, which is currently underway over claims of greedflation.

Do y'all not have small business options? I buy 90% of my groceries from the corner shop across the street from my apartment building. They sell milk, bread, noodles, coffee, eggs, sauces, and a handful of different kinds of produce. I only need to shop at Loblaws once every few months to pick up the stuff I can't get across the street. I know the owner, he's a cool dude. He resists raising prices until the wholesalers raise their prices on him and he has no choice but to do it.

And where do you live? Because, no, most places don't have small corner shops that sell much more than smokes and chips.

And even most of those have been replaced by gas stations that are not just down the block.

I live in Ottawa, specifically in the Centretown area near Little Italy
