Beware of all the new “Maplewashing” ads by Loblaws trying to tout Canadian products and make people forget how they gouged Canadians with high prices in the name of greed during record profits and a global inflation crisis.
Our Loblaws boycott is still in place since last April.

Notice it is the “Canadian federal government” or “Ottawa” when it’s a positive story and it’s “the Trudeau government” or “federal Liberals” when it’s a critical story.

I really really need my American 🇺🇸 followers to understand how it looks to the world outside of America when you casually muse about buying Greenland or Canada and how much it makes everyone hate you.

Canada is a huge chunk of land with a sparse amt of ppl scattered across it. That's why Crown Corps exist/ed... if left to 'market' forces, many would never have svcs like hydro, communications or mail. Educate yourself about where you live FFS.

Yeah, I'm okay with an echo chamber. I'm sure the Allied forces chatter was an echo chamber, too. They didn't need to hear the nazis weigh in while they were planning the Normandy invasion, and we don't either.
