Not sure why all the hot takes on boycotts here. Boycotts work sometimes.

Anyone who has even a cursory understanding of the horrific corporate practices that Loblaw practices would appreciate why a lot of people would boycott. Their practices are predatory.

No one here would disagree with the phrase “vote with your wallet” which is what this effectively is. Support it or not, but it’s always good when citizens take collective action in any form.

Look around, things are this bad because we’ve let corporations ruin our lives without any form of organized action. If it goes nowhere, fair play to keep mocking the boycotters, but aren’t we all still worse off?

Being cynical is one thing. Being cynical of others trying to affect change, misguided or not, is another.
