Grocery giant Loblaws lobbies Ontario government to change cannabis rules
Canada’s Loblaws has been lobbying Ontario’s Ford government to change the rules surrounding cannabis sales, to allow it to get into the marijuana market.
But, some fear if allowed, small businesses will be snuffed out by the grocery giant.
Global’s Queen’s Park bureau chief Colin D’Mello has the details.

Support your local grower!
hell no- the less weed stores the better
When is enough? Galen Weston and his greedy shareholders are rich enough. This is greed at it’s worst. Piss on Loblaws.
These guys have nothing positive to do with cannabis, and never supported it. What you have here is just some greedy suits trying to cash in.
Not a good idea…
So are they going to try and fix the price of weed like they did bread?
If loblaws gets into weed market, I sure hope the quality improves.
π Next thing you know Wally world will get in on this.
You know a business is successful when?
Are you kidding me greed is getting out of hand
most canadians grow their own
Boycott spending there, I shop Safeway and Walmart. I would rather the American company rip me offβ¦I expect it, but a Canadian own company screwing Canadian for a profit, well I still choice as a consumer, and I chose American own company to make money off me. Boycott all Loblaws own stores, canβt rip you off, if you donβt spend there.
they are already selling "adult" product like alcohol and tabacco.
Mabey they should not continue selling Alcohol the way they do in grocery stores the open advertising to children easy access to children lol i smell some some fuckery in the air . So maybe all the Alcohol should also only be allowed to be sold in the beer store and the lcbo.
Just say no to corporate greed, weed should be free.
No
Does really really think that people want to go and buy what will be overpriced cannabis while buying overpriced groceries? Guaranteed that they will sell some βgourmetβ crappy cannabis products.
These corporations need to be stopped now. There’s a limit for greed.
Money money money I want all the money = Loblaws
They just want use to not talk about the terrible increase prices of food! $8.00 for butter!
Why not ? I can buy my beer there? The same beer that will make me silly and act a foo. Or I can get my weeed with my food and go home and chillπ
Thank god since I don’t my 50 percent on rotten meat! Now when I got the groceries after dumpster diving out back getting those rotten veg steak and lobster! I can run in and buy a joint! I wonder if they will end up in the dumpster tooπoh well its steak and lobster tonight! Hope i don’t get the squids!
There talking about this? How about focusing on charges and investigations for the grocery stores who are practicing greedflaation?
I don’t want Cannibas in Loblaws or Service Ontario in Walmart…EVER!
Loblaws needs to calm the β¦. Down. I could only imagine their pricing schemes. Their product would be no name seeds and stems ππ
Nonononononono
Can we all just decide to no longer support this greedy, irritating company. Loblaw company contines to show its true values and priorities as it has the past few years .
who wants to buy weed at loblaws?
Pot is SO EASY to grow, I don’t understand why people spend so much $$$ buying it when you can easily harvest a kilogram of bud from just $130 worth of seeds.
Will never go to Loblaws from todayπ‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘
What they want to price fix weed to?
Loblaws wants to monopolize another industry. Surprise surprise.
But the double standard for selling weed vs. beer/wine is ridiculous. Let the free market sort it outβ¦
Loblaw really canβt help but try to get their greedy little fingers on everything in Canada; Groceries, pharmacies, gas, productsβ¦
Why is everyone reacting by calling Loblaws greedy? I don’t get it.
Exactly how many products can a store sell before it merits that label? I need a number.
Remember when they added rotisserie chicken? Was that ‘greedy’? Help me out here.
Calling them greedy seems pointlessly resentful and small.
I want the government to allow Loblaws to sell guns.
Between corporate bullying, π© quality, price gouging and in some stores availability ~ they’re also forcing a return to old sKo0L ways for so many.
Then there would be major theft there already is anyways loblows is super easy to boost from
And gas stations
Competion bureau investigate Loblaws on their pricing of groceries is a lie..the ceo is a greedy fart.
will lablaws start selling ciggarettes again? and they do not sell it in grocery stores in the rest of canada so ontario should say no to the greedy gold digging galen weston and his company
NO 50% off munchies???? I will buy zero product from LOBLAWS
So they don’t rip enough profit from food stuffs and other grocery stores staples? Will they go after other kinds of merchandise to pull into their stores? Does their greed know no bounds?
ZERO
Loblaws is a greedy monster.
Sure Galen wants in on the action, the greedy sociopath can’t amass enough off the backs of Canadians.
Ironically they want to control Pot, but took away the 50% discount on munchies. Evil bastards.
they already sell beer and cigarettes…but i won’t stop shopping at my local small pot shop
We allow big business to f on everybody else, so why not the small cannabis shops?
Premier Ford will allow It, you’ll see. Greed into infinity…..
What
This Is A Jokeπ€£
