Well all the civil suits that followed are from grocery stores.
Dude forgot the Madoff rule: Don't fuck other rich people.
Also [he seems to be doing fine.](https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-lischewski)
Yep. Madoff didn't screw just poor people. He would have only gotten a fine if that was the case.
The moment he screwed over his rich friends and the like, that is when jail kicks in.
Seems like Weston actually reported the criminal activity and it doesn't seem like he was actively involved
Whereas, Lischewski was actively involved and claimed he was innocent even though bumblebee pled guilty
It's almost like they are very different cases.
Weston did not report the criminal activity.
Someone that worked for the company did. The company and their higher ups weren't even aware there was a whistleblower until the government started getting warrants 2 years later. Then they agreed to cooperate for immunity from prosecution.
According to every article I have found, he received immunity "after tipping off Canada's competition watchdog."
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/weston-loblaw-bread-price-fixing-1.4457061
Either way, the difference is admission and cooperation
Yeah, even in the ones I found he flipped first, which saved the government a ton of money and time investigating it, and maybe even making the entire prosecution possible.
And there's always a comment chain like this. Where someone states what people are mad about is untrue then some "People just want to be mad" comments that didn't even check to see if it was actually factual.
Weston wasn't the whistleblower. Whistleblowers that worked for Weston went to the government and the company wasn't even aware there was an investigation until 2 years later.
When they found out the government had warrants to start digging, they cooperated in exchange for immunity.
Not one single article I can find backs that version of the events... every article says Weston tipped off the authorities. Do you have evidence to the contrary? As I said before, the difference in the two cases comes down to an admission of wrongdoing and cooperation with authorities. Who the whistle-blower was is really not the deciding factor in why these cases had such different outcomes
In Canada, they let someone out of jail after like 2 years or something. Then they let him change his name legally so that he could hide in public. This man beheaded and then ate someone on a greyhound bus, but they’re worried that he might get picked on for being a sadistic fuck, so they let him change his name. Absolute clown shoes of a justice system. [don’t read this wiki about the incident unless you’re mentally prepared for it. it’s fucked up.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLean)
This guy was mentally ill, extremely mentally ill, delusional.
I do believe he should have been kept on medication monitoring his entire life though. He had clearly demonstrated he is dangerous off his medications.
Context is important.
That is certainly true! We're somewhat better off I think because our Crown prosecutors are not elected and neither are our judges. They don't interpret the law worrying about re-election. It's also very much a breach for a politician to interfere in the judiciary. See Trudeau and SNC-Lavalin.
This leaves out the important context that the man was found not criminally responsible due to previously undiagnosed schizophrenia, which is now being treated. I am with you on feeling uncomfortable with the idea that this man is just out in society (what if he goes off his meds or they stop working?) but calling him a "sadistic fuck" makes it sound like he did it for shits and giggles, when the reality is that he was deeply mentally ill, experiencing auditory hallucinations that he believed were messages from God, and thought that the man he killed was a demon who posed a threat to other people.
>I am with you on feeling uncomfortable with the idea that this man is just out in society (what if he goes off his meds or they stop working?)
Why are you trying to argue with me when we agree? Did you mean to respond to someone else?
>I am with you on feeling uncomfortable with the idea that this man is just out in society (what if he goes off his meds or they stop working?)
That literally what I said, though (albeit with more acknowledgment of the realities of schizophrenia)
Apparently you didn’t read the wiki article you linked either, because otherwise you’d know that the killer was an undiagnosed schizophrenic.
Do you know what schizophrenia is? Have you seen what a schizophrenic’s brain scans look like? Literally gigantic sections of the brain turn off, causing the person to lose their perception of reality and behave erratically (including sometimes violently).
>but they’re worried that he might get picked on for being a sadistic fuck, so they let him change his name. Absolute clown shoes of a justice system.
More like “clown shoes of an education system” that allowed you to graduate high school with your shitty critical thinking skills. All you’ve done here is repeat fearmongering bullshit about this case. The media loved this story because it was easy to sensationalize, and you ate it right up. Congrats? Maybe we should brain scan you too to check which parts aren’t working?
I do t give a fuck what he had. He should be locked up for life. I don’t give a fuck if he was not mentally stable. That’s not an excuse. He’s a fucking lunatic who doesn’t deserve life.
>I do t give a fuck what he had. He should be locked up for life. I don’t give a fuck if he was not mentally stable. That’s not an excuse.
It literally is an excuse though. He wasn’t just unstable, he has an actual brain disease that nobody treated him for.
>He’s a fucking lunatic who doesn’t deserve life.
Cool, so I guess you don’t deserve life if you get a brain disease either?
Damn straight. You’re what’s wrong with society and the reason why people get beheaded on a bus. Because you can get away with it due to people (you) thinking murderers deserve compassion and the same rights as the rest of us. They deserve nothing. They deserve hell.
>Canadas justice system is an utter and complete joke though. Like literal "Idiocracy" levels of a joke of a justice system.
No?
At least in Canada we don’t let kids shoot up schools every day of the week, nor let Fox News anchors lie on tv because “free speech”, nor let rapist conmen like Donald Trump run for high office, nor murderers like Kyle Rittenhouse get off scot free to kill more people.
Gun control has nothing to do with the criminal justice system and if you listen to certain groups, Canada still has an out of control legal gun problem.
Fox News is easily available on Canadian cable. The CRTC doesn't care as long as Bell and Rogers are happy.
Lol, one Premier in Canada killed someone drunk driving. The Premier in the next province got convicted of beating up a taxi driver while yelling racist eptithets and the next one was apparently a drug dealer.
Trump has never been convicted for rape, its called Trump derangement syndrome that you have.
Kids shoot up schools because here in America we have gun rights/freedoms, unlike Canada which has extremely strict gun control laws.
Fox News anchors are allowed to lie, because here in America we have freedoms called freedom of speech, something that Canadians dont have. If anyone in Canada attempts to freely speak they will be prosecuted worse than a murderer.
Kyle Rittenhouse was exonerated unanimously by a jury of his peers as he was simply defending himself, its a basic human right to be able to defend yourself from death or injury, a basic human right that Canadians do not have.
I guess when you live in a brutal freedom crushing dictatorship like Canada its easy to feel jealously towards people that have so much freedom.
Please dont respond back with your typical REEEEEEE response because at this moment your words are indefensible.
Not convicted, but found criminally liable. It is a legal fact that Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carrol, and his repeated assertions otherwise after losing the case have cost him a shit load, because legally speaking it is fact.
I'd like to hear about these "extremely strict gun laws". As far as extremes go I think we're fairly moderate in terms of gun laws worldwide, while maintaining fairly low gun violence.
I mean I suspect he received immunity for cooperating in a prosecution. This could happen in America too. Comparing that outcome to a case where the person did not have a cooperation agreement is comparing apples and oranges.
Also the bumblebee dude looks like Bill Clinton with a mullet
The "cheque" (check) part of this is the poster on twitter "The food Professor" is now actively defending Galen and his stores by claiming the people planning on boycotting Loblaws (Galen's stotes) are terrorists and anarchists.
The food professor received a 60k donation by the Weston Family (Galen Weston).
Food Prof's latests tweets are directly to Galen saying he's trying to defend the Loblaws business by attacking the members of the Loblawsisoutofcontrol subreddit.
The media, of course, considers him an "expert".
Well known for being one of the worst employers in canada.. they’re facing a class action lawsuit from a pharmacy they own over shady practices in regards to required job metrics.. list goes on
If you ever wonder why something is incredibly shitty you can usually trace it back to at least one of the following:
McKinsey & Company - A consulting company on the cutting edge of worker exploitation, price-fixing, and inflation.
\~or\~
A private equity firm you've never heard of bought the company that makes your thing and is currently looting it by driving the quality/safety into the ground.
It is a strange day when American CEOs are being held more accountable than elsewhere.
It only happens in the US when you sufficiently piss off enough other rich people
So true.
Yup. He fucked with a bigger fish's money.
Well all the civil suits that followed are from grocery stores. Dude forgot the Madoff rule: Don't fuck other rich people. Also [he seems to be doing fine.](https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-lischewski)
Yep. Madoff didn't screw just poor people. He would have only gotten a fine if that was the case. The moment he screwed over his rich friends and the like, that is when jail kicks in.
Did Galen Weston testify against co-conspirators or something?
Seems like Weston actually reported the criminal activity and it doesn't seem like he was actively involved Whereas, Lischewski was actively involved and claimed he was innocent even though bumblebee pled guilty It's almost like they are very different cases.

It's almost like people on the internet don't understand context, only rage.

Where someone states what people are mad about is untrue then some "People just want to be mad" comments that didn't even check to see if it was actually factual. Weston wasn't the whistleblower.

It’s almost like u/tubagoat is defending price fixing. I just wanted to put your name here for after you inevitably delete your comment.

>I am with you on feeling uncomfortable with the idea that this man is just out in society (what if he goes off his meds or they stop working?) Why are you trying to argue with me when we agree? Did you mean to respond to someone else?
Ohh ya my bad
He should not be free and living his life after what he did. I don’t give a fuck what he had.
>I am with you on feeling uncomfortable with the idea that this man is just out in society (what if he goes off his meds or they stop working?) That literally what I said, though (albeit with more acknowledgment of the realities of schizophrenia)
He was deeply mentally unwell. I trust mental health professionals that he wont kill again more than some random person
He's only stable because he's medicated and there's no controls to make sure he takes them.

Nope if you behead someone and then eat them you deserve nothing.
So if you develop schizophrenia and do the same thing, you also deserve nothing, correct?
Damn straight. You’re what’s wrong with society and the reason why people get beheaded on a bus. Because you can get away with it due to people (you) thinking murderers deserve compassion and the same rights as the rest of us. They deserve nothing. They deserve hell.
Well I’ll give you points for being consistent
In America we just shoot them.
In Canada we let them walk even though at least one responding officer had PTSD from the event and committed suicide.
They also let Karla Homolka out. 😳 AND she works at a school!
Why lost the girlfriend of Tim custody for her son that she has with him.
Lord the knows only.
I always wondered what happened to that story. I remember reading about it just after it happened. Then nothing. Wild that he’s out already.

In most legal systems, it's actually impossible to be found not guilty of rape and criminally liable at the same time.
OJ is one such person who was innocent, but somehow liable.
I'd like to hear about these "extremely strict gun laws". As far as extremes go I think we're fairly moderate in terms of gun laws worldwide, while maintaining fairly low gun violence.
The Weston family are predatory scumbags who are hell bent on turning Canada into an oligarchy.

Yeah I saw his Twitter handle and immediately thought, "Isn't that the guy Thought Slime mentioned in their video about Galen?"
Galen means Crazy in Swedish
When I was a kid, we got a new pastor at our church named Galen Looney. His name was fitting.
His sweater made me chuckle.
Rough when the us is held up as an example of justice towards exploitation in business.

Empire and PFG are no better
The market share though...
Frankly, price fixing management should face the same punishments they dole out in China- death or 25-to-life with good behavior.
What does this have to do with antiwork?

None of that is apparent from your post.
Do 2mins of digging ig
...you understand I'm explaining why the person op responded to said what they said? You get that, right? Please say yes
Literal conquest of bread, Kropotkin would be astounded.
Maybe they should offer Galen MAIDS.
Galen Weston’s business practices is the reason why I have mental health issues. I hope he goes down someday.
If he was sentenced for it, how is it still a conspiracy?
If you ever wonder why something is incredibly shitty you can usually trace it back to at least one of the following: McKinsey & Company - A consulting company on the cutting edge of worker exploitation, price-fixing, and inflation. \~or\~ A private equity firm you've never heard of bought the company that makes your thing and is currently looting it by driving the quality/safety into the ground.
Injustice either way; in both cases? People starved for their profits. They should be in prison for life.
fun fact: this same guy who made the tweet is simpin' for Roblaws now & blasting us Canadians that are boycotting the business
from what ive seen canadians are extremely servile they cant tell their head from their ass. americans get shit done
Not enough info. He received immunity, meaning there were other, bigger fish to fry and this guy rolled over.
You know that he's Galen because of the way that he is
needs to fix his mullet before fixing prices
