Edit2 : Apparently I HAVE to use the original shitty title from the article.
Grocery theft is on the rise but we won’t tax the rich or bring back down the prices, we will jail those in need instead.
Money is better spent in the police forces anyway /s

It’s amazing how far we’ve come.
Is there a list of which laws were just disobeying now, or not?
My sister, who ran a pet store for a while, would have benefited from this knowledge before rampant theft killed her dream.
That depends. Was your sister selling essential goods while more than doubling the price over a three year period while claiming they have to because of “supply chain” issues, while their parent company owns the entire supply chain?
*and were record profits posted for shareholders, so many economists analyzing the situation had to admit the price increases were just for profit?
I was in Yellowknife last week and milk was 4.58 cheaper then in Edmonton. All their stores seemed to be independent though.
I’m sorry for your sister, but if shoplifting alone, a reality all retail businesses deal with, to some level (which according to this very article, just came back to pre pandemic levels, so we aren’t talking about something new), was enough to kill her business… What kind of shit margins do pet stores run on? 🤨
And did she not have theft insurance?
