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.

But the industry is responsible for training these people, and they don’t provide enough.
And to add to that, it was my experience as a truck driver, that whenever something does go wrong, companies will do everything they can to place all blame on the driver.
Trucking should be unionized and made a red seal trade.
I got mine in 2009. It was a 3 week course - 2 days in class, the rest driving for 2 hours each day - that cost $3000. Then they send you off on your own with a “good luck”
What’s changed since then?
It should be a trade with yearly training until you’re a journeyman.
Ok, so when are we going to change trucking regulations to help out underpaid fatigued drivers?
I worked in the industry for ten years. A big reason I got out was being pushed by bosses to drive more and more for less and less money. This whole incident is a symptom of larger issues that I don’t think are being addressed.
You’ve clearly never had to trade your silver spoon for a cock to get by
Ok, but what are we going to do about the lack of training in the trucking industry that led to this?
Here in Alberta our premier refuses to co-operate with the feds. One benefit is that Marlaina Smith can’t fuck with the program.
Exactly. And staying in some empty piece of land with nothing nearby while only working 8 hours a day.
Another one that’s not a drag queen!
Oh my, have we been misled?
Nope. School bus drivers were asked to work as drivers for firefighters last summer but they were offering two weeks on/ two weeks off for $20/hour for 8 hour days, food and accommodations not provided. They said to bring at tent.
I said no fucking way.
Oh last year they already decided that the liberals were paying people to start fires to push their “green agenda”
The story could be “I talked to TD and they fixed my issue. Great customer service!”
But they tried to buy him off for some reason…?
When I was a new citizen (a baby) I had free access to the parks, so whatever.
That’s the thing… what’s a Loblaw’s boycott going to do to solve the problem with the other major chains? I only ever see Loblaws reported on.
Nothing but help the other major chains, which makes me wonder who’s behind this boycott?
I was trying to find out who the admins are of the Facebook group pushing this boycott locally. Turns out it’s two accounts with fake names that are only a few months old, one of which only has one friend. 🤔
How are Safeway and Sobeys doing?
Yeah I added an edit when I realized the article doesn’t say whether or not the lawsuit is over.
He makes himself look bad without lawsuits
Oh I dunno, I just did the math. $320,000 ÷ by 4000 is $80.
Edit: upon further thought, the article doesn’t say if this is the end of the lawsuit or not. Sounds like the $320,000 amount is what the government has already paid to their lawyers to fight it.
Aww man. What’s she doing now?
