When they went woke i stopped buying anything Maple Leaf, i'm glad they are failing.

Interesting pork has remained relatively cheap compared to other meats. Not including bacon.

They're playing creative accounting. Maybe an audit is in order.

their losses were subsidized by higher costs for the consumer.

Who’s going to believe that?
