Consumers are frustrated with food prices, which rose by double-digits over just a few years while Canada’s biggest grocers reported higher profits. “There's a group of people who have been relentlessly propagating a narrative that they know is false. And it is now being used to justify theft on a grand scale,” said Weston. In his comments, Weston referenced an earlier demand from the boycotters that the company lower prices by 15 per cent, though boycott organizers have since rescinded their original demands and posted new ones on Reddit that include signing a grocery code of conduct and committing to affordable pricing.
