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

I'd love to but I live in a small town with only 2 grocery stores. No Frills and Metro. I have to drive 30 minutes to another town if I want to shop somewhere else. They're both expensive so I usually end up going to both and looking for sales.

I have doubts that this boycott will actually make a difference. The world is fucked and controlled by the rich. The only way things will ever change is if the working class band together and force change. But we're all too busy arguing amongst eachother about meaningless shit to do that.

You're not in a good position to boycott for sure, but that doesn't mean there aren't many others who are. I think we can agree that the working class banding together is important. Let's hope something positive comes of this

I'm not convinced the boycott will make a difference, but it's pretty easy for me to shop somewhere else, so I'll give it a shot. If I had to drive 30 minutes, there's no way I'd do it.
