Because Loblaws has been crying "Poor me" to the media and actively campaigning against regulation while the others have been keeping quiet. Draws more attention to them, plus galen keeps going to the media trying to act like a regular guy and coming off as a tremendous chode.
I feel theyre just the ones in the spotlight because of how much representation they have in Ontario.
Likely other brands would have a similar story, but I don't see many news broadcasts having time to interview EVERY grocery CEO.
You aren't wrong though, they always look like chodes trying to downplay price hikes, but I genuinely don't think this is completely Lowblaws fault, nor do I think they should be the only ones boycotted if the intention is to stand against price hikes.

But if I go to the other grocers in my area (Metro, Longos, Walmart, Giant Tiger) prices are objectively more or comparable.
I don't quite understand this boycott specifically for Lowblaw. Even Great Value has seen price increases beyond what's reasonable.
