Sadly I'm not surprised. Taking advantage of our loyalty to Canada. 😡

Tim Hortons is American now!!

Knew this was coming. Taking advantage of the situation to artificially increasing prices. Galen Weston will be bragging about record profits by the end of the next Quarter. The new government will need to reign this crap in at some point.

Almost certainly. I've noticed that the price of 🇨🇦 made stuff has increased and the major grocers are likely price gouging consumers.

If the prices have not increased, the size of the packaging/container has gotten smaller

Chapmans claimed it would hold wholesale prices steady.

They should embarrass the shit out of the retailers if prices have been put up.

Grocers love to make a buck on the back of whatever, even patriotism. 😡

We need our governments to look at this in May. Both federal and provincial.

I have noticed it but not tracked it. I will begin now.

Good luck getting Doug Ford to do anything about it. Why people keep voting him in, I have no idea

I won’t shop at LOBLAWS stores. There isn’t anything they haven’t increased since the pandemic. Know where you spend your dollars people!

I called this two months ago.

Would love to see Chapman’s start an ice cream parlour storefront chain. Scooped or packaged to go. 🍦

We have a local joint that has a deal with Kawartha Lakes, really good stuff, too. Love their Mocha Almond

Noone shops at Loblaws for deals, try NoFrills.
Things, particularly produce are cheaper than I expected at local freshco,food basics and yellow store. Not all Canadian, but none American.

Given their actions during the pandemic, it wouldn’t surprise me at all.

I switched to kicking horse coffee...sorry Timmy just aint Canadian enough.

I’ll defend them a bit here. They do have a giant bean roasting facility in Ontario. A vast majority of their coffee is made here.

Obviously Canadian ownership would be preferable though. I miss old Timmie’s.

Tim's current coffee if gross.

If you want coffee delivered to your home from a local Canadian woman-owned small business, try Sparkplug Coffee. It think it is amazing https://sparkplug.coffee/#how-it-works

Nip this in the bud, it's big business putting their thumb on the scale for Peeair Pollution.

We have to stop and think before bringing out the pitchforks.

Are the brands raising their prices? Or are the greedy grocery corporations raising prices?

kieraoona.bsky.social•2 days ago

most likely the latter

shane555.bsky.social•1 day ago

We need a national co-op, citizen owned.
Why bother with the for profit greed

scribblerhackit.bsky.social•2 days ago

Same as it ever was with these heinous price-fixing suits. 😡

abbyadams335.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s enraging
