Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it’s best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.
Literally every wholesaler is owned by one of the big companies, so it’s still coming from there even at an independent grocer. No, I will not be expending effort on this, personally. Downvote me if you need.
I agree that avoiding any of the big companies is nearly impossible, and if we switch for a month from one big company to another it seems pointless, but my hope is that if Loblaws sees a real impact from this boycott it will put a bit of fear into any of them that they could be next. I could be naive, but it seems worth trying (if you can, I understand some cannot).
