No one has explained to me yet how a Loblaws boycott helps stop Sobeys and Pattinson from doing the same thing.
One person claimed it would be rolling boycotts, but I haven’t heard peep about boycotting the others.
Loblaws owns a lot of other brands and are quite dominent, if you can get them to drop prices then Sobeys will have to follow suit. Rolling boycott doesn't do much because if you boucott Sobeys in the next month people will shop back at Loblaws, best plan is introducing Canadians to the true independent local grocer/bakery/butcher during the boycott and continuing to shop there. Another issue is Loblaws owns a commercial property landlord type company and 65% of their tennancy is Loblaws stores; which has anticompetitive clauses that disallow smaller grocers to move into land rental agreements where Loblaws doesn't want competition.
