Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
To note: the Irving family of new Brunswick are some of the worst people on this earth.
They control oil. Farms. The news. The forests. The fisheries. Etc.
They own the Maritimes.
And they are destroying it.

Fill me in: what the heck did that have to do with Kleenex? Threadjack?
The article specifically mentions that Irving will profit from this change.
The hell I’d ever buy Royale TP or facial tissues.
The Irvings can gtfo.
I didn’t know Royale was Irving owned. Into the naughty books it goes.
