If these fines don't START with forfeiting the ill gotten revenue then they are just a fee.

Pennies. These people are billionaires, they should pay fines.
Yup, it should 100% of revenue of the false product. Redistributed to canadian food producers. And the execs who green lit this should be thrown in prison
Accountability, responsibility.
Sweden and others have a sliding fine with no top end, based on the income of those being fined.
A baker speeding 90 in a 70, gets a 154.00, but the billionaire doing 90 in a 70 gets fined $14,675.00.
So as to make the pain of the fine equal for all.
Th billionaire fine needs at least 2-4 more zeros to make the point.
You can look up the fines in Scandinavian countries. Its quite sane and satisfactory.
They aren't fined too much, just enough so it makes sense to not speed anymore.
I was going off the numbers in this post. $15,000 is a rounding error to a billionaire. Doubt they’d even care. Just pay it and speed.
If the number is accurate I stand by my comment. If the number is inaccurate that’s in the hands of the person I replied to.
Swedish day fines have, contrary to its Finnish counterparts, a maximum limit so as not to render too excessive of a fine should the offender have a very large income.
Its in several Skandi countries. Let's expand.
Oh, I'm on board with the concept. Just trying to correct a bit of accidental misinformation on Sweden having no upper limit to day-fines.
I'm pretty sure our military justice system uses a a form of day-fines. So we even have an existing precedent at home!
And then some fines on top.
So they’re fined the amount I pay them annually? What about fines for all the other Canadians they’ve defrauded?
If you are able, you can add "fines" yourself by not shopping there.
I add fines at the self checkout
Yes I'm sure $10k will send a message.
This would be a great entry for the Bob Loblaw Law Blog.
We don't need legal double talk
Is there nothing these fuckers won't do to get our hard earned cash? Let's refresh that boycott.
Nationalize food wholesale
To be clear, this was a single location, not the entire company.
To be clear, the entire company also fucking sucks. Fuck Galen Weston.
I didn't claim otherwise.
And the cost of that fine will be passed on to us consumers!
Nationalize Loblaws!
Federally override regressive zoning laws that give them their monopoly on land so we can have actual competition. Cap density limits and taxes to a healthy commercial real estate value.
At least split their real estate holdings into a separate corporation and start breaking up their vertical integration.
Hey they fined me less than a penny guys, what should I do?
The Superstore is located on Gerry Fitzgerald Drive.
Maximum fine is $15k.
