A Loblaws boycott has been initiated this May, stemming from public concerns over rising food prices and the failure of grocery monopolies like Loblaw to offer reasonable prices for our communities.
Organizers of the boycott have outlined specific demands, including the implementation of a grocers’ code of conduct and a reduction in food prices by 15 percent.
