Loblaw Executives Are Blurring Homes and Removing Names from Land Registries

I’ve heard from internal sources that Loblaw executives are blurring their homes on Google Maps and removing their names from land registries. While personal safety is a valid concern—especially after the tragic killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in the U.S.—this move feels incredibly tone-deaf.

If you work on the inside, you’d know that many of these executives are deeply out of touch with reality. They don’t understand what common Canadians go through to make ends meet. Instead of reflecting on why people are so frustrated—whether it’s unaffordable groceries or a lack of meaningful action—they double down and continue this facade of being “guardians” of Canadians.

These same executives go on store walks, portraying themselves as everyday people doing a public service. But behind the scenes, it’s clear they’re more focused on shielding themselves from scrutiny than addressing the systemic issues causing so much hardship.

Rather than fixing the root problems, they’re prioritizing their own image and protection. It’s frustrating to see them avoid accountability while continuing to profit off decisions that make life harder for Canadians.

What do you think? Is this yet another example of misplaced priorities from leadership?
