According to an email from Loblaw Companies Ltd. reviewed by CBC News, it will no longer discount perishable foods like meat, fruit, and vegetables by 50 per cent off as they near their expiration date. cbc.ca/news/canada/no….
@CBCNews In other words consumers will need to pay more attention to 'Best Before' dates on packaging labels instead of taking discount labels for granted. This will lead to higher loss rates for retailers.
@CBCNews Hard to believe this guy would do something like that.
@CBCNews Didn't the Liberals say they had an agreement with the big food companies to lower prices?
@CBCNews I'm sure that will help with public perception of grocers.
@CBCNews for the love of groceries... what next, canada?
@CBCNews This is a nothing burger. I haven't regularly seen 50% off sticker for years. They were rare, 30% off is the typical discount & has been for ages.
@CBCNews They'll end up with less money overall because they'll waste more food. What a ridiculous move.
The primary focus of this article should be on the seniors relying on discounted food for survival. Rather than supporting foreign governments and increasing immigration while neglecting our seniors, it's essential for our government to prioritize working for the people. This CBC article seems to shift blame from the government to the companies. Government control over businesses aligns with a socialist approach, but their role should be in running the country. To enhance citizens' financial well-being, the focus should be on reducing taxes, allowing individuals to keep more of their earnings rather than contributing excessively to the government. THIS is why we need to get rid of the Liberals.
