It’s perhaps time that someone in the field of crisis management introduced the leadership of Loblaw Cos. Ltd. to the Law of Holes. The law, which is undeniably sensible and has been attributed to several authorities, states that “if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.”It was bad enough that the supermarket chain admitted participation in a price-fixing arrangement for bread between 2001 and 2015. No product is more venerated, in lore and Scripture, as a staple. The bread of life, manna from heaven and all that. In the shop-keeping trade, few sins could be more appalling than shafting patrons on such a basic commodity.
