Until fines are an order of magnitude more than ill-gotten profits or they nuke integration if you get caught, there is no real disincentive. Weston has no morals. Fines are normally far far less than the profits (and they don't need to be paid for a very long time after the profits were booked).
Unless you need new freezers, an then OH well we’ll just get our money back.
Saving the environment by funding one billionaire at a time. I'm not completely opposed to carbon tax as a concept but how they implemented it drove up inflation and had zero environmental benefit.
This is it. What's the point of laws, tickets, fines, etc if there are no consquences.
While it's still a penalty, something I read that I like was "Legal for a price". Unless the penalty is large enough, many will choose to do what they want and pay if caught. That applies equally to speeding and price fixing. I wouldn't mind the scandinavian approach of tickets based on income. The $250 speeding ticket may mean someone making minimum wage can't eat for a week but is a complete non-issue for many. If crimes with high moral culpability (like price fixing bread or politicians trading money for favors) were punished in the magnitude of yearly income, they wouldn't do those things. As it is, the rare time you get caught, you get a menial fine and continue on being a profiteering scumbag. Why change when it's so profitable to be evil?

See, apologize and continue pillaging. Why change anything. If they lost most of their profit or were required to terminate the board and C-suite without comp everytime they got caught, they would operate far differently.Didn't a few stores get caught a couple wks ago with under weighing the meat?

Loblaws at it again
Loblaw apologizes after underweighted meat sold in Western Canada stores - National | Globalnews.ca
Loblaw is confirming that some of its Western Canada stores underweighted meat products, resulting in a higher cost to affected consumers.
That too is controllable. The Canadian competition bureau is supposed to protect completion for Canadians. They have teeth, but lack courage.
Virtue signaling by politicians. F them. Declare emergencies, do nothing to address them or improve in any way and then vote themselves a huge raise (driving up taxes and rent). As expected, Kingston followed the same pattern calling on everyone else to fund the issue. Kingston has 11 councillors. They rejected appeals to reduce council size and voted themselves a raise to 45k for a part time job in 2022. You could easily free up hundreds of thousands there to allocate to hungry people. Useless tits.
councillors are not the problem , it’s our expectation level . We can’t raise a family in a thousand sq ft . We can’t not have nice things . If you’re standing in line at a food bank and you’re holding a take out coffee and a smoke , pick a new line .

Yes that’s over simplified, but not everyone gets a house on the lake . But declaring a state of emergency is weak .

You had a choice, you choose to give freely. not necessarily giving you a right to judge. IMHO
The downside is that the Swedish cops will let a dozen Ladas go by at 30+ over while waiting for a bigger fish in a MB.
If it was up to me, everyone at the food bank would have to clarify their income statements, visa status, and confirm eligibility.
How much effort does it take to judge someone as compared to do something about it? I stopped along time ago as it was frustrating and a waste of my time. nowadays i just stay in my own lane.
