Poster on utility pole that says:

"Can't afford food? Blame billionaires not immigrants.
* In 2023, grocery stores doubled their profits.
* It's not because of inflation! Inflation went up only 7% but prices went up nearly 11.5%.
* It would take 340 years for a grocery worker to earn what Galen Weston, CEO of Loblaws and NoFrills, profits in a year.

Don't let them distract you with racism"

Sticker on a utility pole:
Can’t Afford Food?
Blame billionaires not immigrants.
* In 2023, grocery stores doubled their profits.
* It’s not because of inflation! Inflation went up only 7% but prices went up nearly 15%.
* It would take 340 years for a grocery worker to earn what Galen Weston, CEO of Loblaws and NoFrills, profits in a year.

@jdeisenberg @lovelylovely

All inflation can be traced to the human greed of someone, so ALL of that 15% increase was caused by human greed, not just 8% of it. That 8% is what no one can excuse as "inflation".

@lovelylovely if immigrants weren’t doing all the labor in agriculture, food would be much more costly here.
