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.

hell no- the less weed stores the better
Not a good idea…
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 too😊oh well its steak and lobster tonight! Hope i don’t get the squids!
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 ‘gourmet’ crappy cannabis products.
These corporations need to be stopped now. There’s a limit for greed.
😂 Next thing you know Wally world will get in on this.
You know a business is successful when?
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?
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.
If loblaws gets into weed market, I sure hope the quality improves.
NO 50% off munchies???? I will buy zero product from LOBLAWS
No. Big business already controls too much.
Nonononononono
We allow big business to f on everybody else, so why not the small cannabis shops?
So are they going to try and fix the price of weed like they did bread?
Sure Galen wants in on the action, the greedy sociopath can’t amass enough off the backs of Canadians.
most canadians grow their own
Are you kidding me greed is getting out of hand
I want the government to allow Loblaws to sell guns.
Then there would be major theft there already is anyways loblows is super easy to boost from
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.
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.
Premier Ford will allow It, you’ll see. Greed into infinity…..
Money money money I want all the money = Loblaws
Will never go to Loblaws from today😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Competion bureau investigate Loblaws on their pricing of groceries is a lie..the ceo is a greedy fart.
When is enough? Galen Weston and his greedy shareholders are rich enough. This is greed at it’s worst. Piss on Loblaws.
Loblaws is a greedy monster.
lol….do government wants people to quit smoking
But it’s ok for Loblaws to sell cannabis 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣and pot
What they want to price fix weed to?
Ironically they want to control Pot, but took away the 50% discount on munchies. Evil bastards.
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 .
Boycott spending there, I shop Safeway and Walmart. I would rather the American company rip me off…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, can’t rip you off, if you don’t spend there.
And gas stations
Loblaw really can’t help but try to get their greedy little fingers on everything in Canada; Groceries, pharmacies, gas, products…
I don’t want Cannibas in Loblaws or Service Ontario in Walmart…EVER!
Support your local grower!
i grow my own, government legalized tax scam theft can kiss my butt
Just say no to corporate greed, weed should be free.
They just want use to not talk about the terrible increase prices of food! $8.00 for butter!
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 out…
Between corporate bullying, 💩 quality, price gouging and in some stores availability ~ they’re also forcing a return to old sKo0L ways for so many.
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 chill😂
who wants to buy weed at loblaws?
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
Loblaws needs to calm the …. Down. I could only imagine their pricing schemes. Their product would be no name seeds and stems 😂😂
ZERO
they are already selling "adult" product like alcohol and tabacco.
What
No
they already sell beer and cigarettes…but i won’t stop shopping at my local small pot shop
