A boycott targeting Loblaw is gaining momentum online, with what could be thousands of shoppers taking their money elsewhere in May.

This reminds me of all the Facebook led fuel protests ala 2007. None of those were successful btw, fuels still expensive as shit.

I’m betting they instead continue to make record profits all through May.

The only time boycotts work is when they’re paired up with divestment and sanctions.

Only May? They’re barely going to notice it.

I know I’m actively moving from No Frills to Calgary Coop. More expensive but so far way better quality foods and no more dollars going to Loblaws.

And, if they do end up with excess profits, they pay it back to Co-op members.
