        Take away their license to operate in Canada. Seems seditious to me.

            Shutting them down “cold turkey” seems like an overreaction, considering the big grocers amount to our whole food distribution system.

              How about if the label is inaccurate they have to give you the product for free. Shit would get fixed overnight.

                You’re right, we should nationalise their operations instead

                  6 (1) It is prohibited for a person to manufacture, prepare, package, label, sell, import or advertise a food commodity in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive or is likely to create an erroneous impression regarding its character, quality, value, quantity, composition, merit, safety or origin or the method of its manufacture or preparation.

                  Penalties outlined in the act:

                  (a) on conviction on indictment, to a fine of not more than $5,000,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than two years or to both; or

                  (b) on summary conviction, for a first offence, to a fine of not more than $250,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months or to both and, for a subsequent offence, to a fine of not more than $500,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than 18 months or to both.
