Safeway is an american grocery store. They are not your friend and they will be on the side of American companies. That they are doing this is unsurprising.

Canada Safeway is owned (since 2013) by Sobeys, which is a fully Canadian owned company.

The only thing it has in common with the US company is the name.

Similar to A&W. Completely separate company in Canada and the US.

Well then, that just makes their misdirection worse.

I'm kinda torn on things. The other option in the area is a NoFrills, which is the Loblaws monopoly. They are Canadian, but evil as fuck. At least Safeway has a functional union for the workers?

Otherwise I can drive 20 minutes (both ways) and go to a Co-Op instead of a 4 minute walk. I'm legit not sure which of the options is worse or best.
