What kind of exploitative capitalism do we have in Canada? And how is this allowed? This is utterly ridiculous!
If you think this is bad, look more into the Canadian temporary foreign worker program which a UN report recently called modern day slavery: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/un-special-rapporteur-migrant-worker-program-modern-form-of-slavery-1.6958592
Yeah it's not just Canada. It's done in every industrialized country. They do this in Europe including Scandinavian countries where they import African labor for agriculture (for instance they bring in African pickers for blue berries, etc). Same in Japan and Korea I believe.
It isn't.
We are reaching the final logical conclusions of capitalism with Canadian characteristics.

Welcome to the cyberpunk future.
Welcome to the Hudson Bay Company.

As mentioned, this is so far just one criminal at just one store.
Loblaws can appear like total dicks at times, but this isn't necessarily them. Render unto Caesar.
As mentioned by @JohnnyCanuck
