Loblaws (and all of Galen Westons companies) makes billions every year, price fixed bread, gets $12million to retrofit their refrigeration units. Loblaws kicks in $36 million, taxpayers pay another 3rd.

Wonder if there was any lobbying of the PMO on this ;)

This is the most ridiculous thing i've heard from the Libs in a few days (LOL). Loblaws earned $800 in profits last year, accused by the Govt for owing $400+ in taxes and fixed the price of bread, yet they deserve $12million????

what I like about this is the media are paying attention and reporting on the fuckery

when you have all sides calling out the Gov't on shit like this then you know they're done
