Grocery shoppers in Canada have been crying out for lower prices, but the head of Canada's largest grocery store empire, Loblaws, isn't making it any easier. Despite a bevy of customer complaints about high prices, Loblaws executive chairman and president Galen Weston has been rewarded with a salary increase totaling $1.2 million.\n\nThis salary increase comes despite Loblaws claiming to implement a series of measures to lower the cost of goods and services. For instance, thousands of ready-to-eat meals and sushi items are now offered at reduced prices. However, many consumers are saying those price cuts don't make up for the costly grocery items already on the store shelves.\n\nIn this video, we explore the reaction among consumers and explain what Canadian citizens are being asked to do to fight retail pricing disparities. We also take a closer look at Mr. Weston's salary and how it compares to his peers, as well as the impact it may have on Loblaws and its customers. \n\nList:
