Inflation = greed

-

Recently, I read profit for the Metro grocery chain was up $10 million in the first quarter of 2022. Bear in mind that for the last two years of pandemic, profits have continuall­y risen in that industry. Loblaws and Canadian Tire just paid millions in bonuses to their executives. I went to buy deodorant at Shoppers the other day. It was on sale for $7.99 regular price $10.99, not some high-end product, Dove. Not too long ago it was $7.99 and would go on sale for $4.99. Oil companies are also making record profits. Don’t tell me inflation is the product of anything but pure greed.
