YOU CANNOT TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL.
I imagine that the predatory dynamic pricing will skyrocket on the day of these payments.
Luckily for Galen Weston the majority government of Canada is okay with that.
VERY BIG NEWS out of France a week ago:

1/ Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social and I had a warm and productive first conversation today.

Exactly! Carney’s plan is for the profiteers but not for the people. Avi’s plan is for the people.
Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.
Grocery giants just can’t help themselves.

Canadians are sick and tired of being ripped off.
A public option for groceries is overdue.
