A boycott targeting Loblaw is gaining momentum online, with what could be thousands of shoppers taking their money elsewhere in May.
It's the latest sign of Canadians' mounting frustration with the major grocers, which have been under political and public scrutiny for rising food prices and profits.

That's where the financial impact is, she said. It's that consistent loss of consumers over time, because they're very hard to get back once they're gone.
LaBarge said she thinks the grocers don't fully understand how deeply unhappy their customers are, and the risk that poses to their reputations.

I don't know how big it will be. I don't know how big it really can be, since a lot of people don't really have that many reasonable options for grocery stores and besides they're not the only one where prices are getting absurd. But it's definitely a big point of annoyance for many people right now, it's not just some tiny fringe internet movement either
