Yup, it should 100% of revenue of the false product. Redistributed to canadian food producers. And the execs who green lit this should be thrown in prison

So they’re fined the amount I pay them annually? What about fines for all the other Canadians they’ve defrauded?

If these fines don't START with forfeiting the ill gotten revenue then they are just a fee.

To be clear, this was a single location, not the entire company.

If you are able, you can add "fines" yourself by not shopping there.

Nationalize Loblaws!

Federally override regressive zoning laws that give them their monopoly on land so we can have actual competition. Cap density limits and taxes to a healthy commercial real estate value.

At least split their real estate holdings into a separate corporation and start breaking up their vertical integration.
