The Debate: Loblaws’ discount changes, Toronto’s toboggan ban and Blue Monday.

The Debate with Mike Le Couteur

16-01-2024 • 39 mins

In this episode Stewart ‘Brittlestar’ Reynolds and Mohit Rajhans debate:

  • Loblaws is ending its 50% discounts on 'nearly expired' food and replacing it with a 30% reduction. The grocer says the move is more consistent with their competitors. Is it fair for Loblaws to change their discount policy?
  • Toronto is banning tobogganing at 45 hills that have been deemed 'unsafe.’ The hills don't have a clear path from the top to the bottom without trees, ditches, etc. in the way. Is this overreach or safe planning, by the city?
  • The third Monday in January is also known as 'Blue Monday.’ It was started as a gimmick by a travel company, but some mental health experts say it makes sense because of the weather and holiday bills arriving. Do you believe today is the 'most depressing day of the year?’
