A face that most of us recognize, Galen Weston Jr., heir of billionaire Galen Weston, never had a day of need in his life, is one of the oligarchs cannibalizing our healthcare system.

The Weston's focus was food, which through Loblaws etc spread to include healthcare services, hence their intense lobbying efforts to privatize healthcare. But how did we get here? And what does it illustrate about how capitalism concentrates ownership into fewer hands? 3/
While I have some issues w/ @TorontoStar, this investigation into price gouging by 🇨🇦’s big supermarket chains, thestar.com/business/2022/… is worth a subscription. If the Star keeps doing valuable investigations like this, they may win back some lost subscribers. #InflationScam
Since #DougFord only holds staged fake “rallies” for photos & videos spoon fed to #cdnmedia, then protest his donors & propagandists instead. Stage a protest @RogersMediaPR @BellMediaPR at #Postmedia esp at his disinformation propaganda rag the Toronto Sun. HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
Stage protests at Galen Weston’s house. Loblaws corporate headquarters. Shoppers Drug Mart headquarters. Make the people installing #DougFord accountable for the strip mining of Ontario for their own bloated morbidly obese wealth. #VoteFordOutJune2 #MakeThemAccountable #ONpoli
Start staging protests @loblawco. The Weston family & #Loblaws/#ShoppersDrugMart are key drivers of the dismantling of public healthcare in Ontario. #HoldThemAccountable

Yst'day was rough. Mood swings, easily demoralized by small things: colleagues not getting a strategy; more wafer-thin slices from my autonomy in my work. Saved by a long walk. I could handle #PlankTheCurve if Ab's attack on universities wasn't co-occuring. #LifeInTheTimeOfCovid
Sunshine, a bike ride in wind so strong it pushed me up out of the river valley = good medicine; met 1.5 of today's 3 productivity goals. Calling it enough. #LifeInTheTimeOfCovid
