CTV at Bayview and Broadway, across the street from Whole Foods Friday
As Saturday dawns, Whole Foods has the doubtful distinction of being the only grocery store in history to have been denounced in a House of Commons motion for its brainless decision to prevent employees from wearing a poppy. Of course, the poppy is an especially Canadian thing. But it’s entirely apolitical and hardly obscure, even in the darkest recesses of Whole Foods headquarters in Austen, Texas. Nonetheless, Whole Foods geniuses remained stubborn. As fury rolled across Canada early Friday, Whole Foods doubled down on its refusal. It took a call from the Minister of Veterans Affairs, the HOC vote and maybe a call from Jeff Bezos, Amazon tycoon, owner of WF and the richest man in the world, for the company to change its mind.
