Extremely r-slurred. Grocery stores get their food on loan and have to pay hefty penalties if they don't repay it by selling the product.

Everything is more expensive in Canada. Protectionism, real estate crisis, agriculture cartels protect by the gov, etc. The Redditor utopia known as the middle road between socialism and capitalism.

Only one and a half provinces speak it too, probably like 20% but the entire country has to play ball cuz the French can't win in the market so they force it
It think it was Pierre Trudeau who did that one too (father of current one)

Loblaws used to be a discount grocery chain famous for its store brand products. I shopped there exclusively for years, they had an excellent selection of produce and asian foods. The meat was always expensive but I paid for it because it saved me a trip elsewhere, everything evened out.
They lost the plot during covid and are now priced as high or higher than "luxury" brands. Walmart is cheaper by 20 to 30% across the board. I shop around now, going to the asian stores, walmart, the butcher and Costco. Loblaws can suck it.

Yeah Loblaws has never been a discount grocery. What they are now, at least, is a near monopoly grocery chain they own all the other brands almost.

Anti competition rules here that make it difficult if not impossible for new brands to come in if they're not Canadian owned. Also the market here just won't sustain more competition, Canada is a big country geographically but we only have like 35 million people.

Americans
(yes this includes canada) are so fricking 
r-slurred 
that they dont seem to comprehend that different 
types of chicken 
are of different 
quality. If you can find packs of huge amounts of chicken 
for extremely cheap, it's probably because it's pumped full of hormones all its life and then they inject 
it with water 
to pump up the weight.
If that's good quality
chicken, it's a very reasonable price, it looks good. quit whining

Loblaws chicken is sinewy trash full of hormones and saline. Loblaws is anywhere from 40 to 100% more expensive than their competitors

That's the beauty of capitalism. If you don't agree with the price, buy it somewhere else.

main difference in chicken is if it's water or airchilled. Airchilled is 100% better as waterchilled can absorb up to 12% of its weight in water. it's also worse tasting and doesn't bread well.
but that's basically the only difference and $30 is NOT how much airchilled costs, even for freerange

The chicken injected with brine is better. And don't @ me telling me I'm paying more for salt water because I compare dollar per gram of protien, not dollar per gram of chicken.

O monte de carne que o brasileiro médio (ou qualquer habitante médio da Bacia do Prata) come seria dieta de luxo no Canadá e na Europa, depois essa gringalhada vem com historinha da gente largar a mão do agro e virar camponês de subsistência, vão tomar no cu.
Se você for assistir os videos do pessoal que se muda pra Toronto ou Montreal é sempre a mesma história: sim a infraestrutura e muito boa, muito seguro, só que o aluguel é caro, a comida é cara, o combustível é caro, o transporte é caro e além disso tem um monte de impostos (bem que o Brasil cobra mil impostos de primeiro mundo sem 1/10 dos retornos
) sem contar que o aluguel caro é pra pagar por um apartamentinho dos mais básicos com só um quarto.

Loblaws is a dog water grocery chain. The only food item i found to be less expensive than other stores in general was deli meat, which again i can find cor cheaper or comparable if i cared about deli meat. Otherwise, like that image, their butcher is way overpriced, their produce us abosolute garbage, like starts rotting or moulding within 2 days etc..
As a one stop grocery store, it quite possibly the worst.
At least they offered everyone like 10 dollar gift cards to not sue when they were caught price fixing bread.
