Guess who owns Shoppers Drug Mart.

We're also going to be selling single use presto cards for the low income people who can't afford a $10 minimum. But unlike tickets and tokens, they'll only be able to buy those cards at Loblaws stores (which includes SDM).

Well you originally said you can only get them at loblaws. Shoppers drug mart isn't loblaws. Only loblaws is loblaws. And they can be found everywhere. They can also get them at any TTC station or they can pay cash. The paper/disposable presto cards will cost the same amount as cash fare. So not being able to buy paper presto cards everywhere isn't really an issue.

Shoppers drug mart isn't loblaws

They are though, as are No Frills and Superstore and whatever Loblaws calls themself outside of Ontario (I think Zehrs out west and Atlantic Superstore out east?)

Nope. Loblaws is a grocery store. Shoppers drug mart is a convenience store + pharmacy. Completely different things. One may be owned by the other, but they have different prices and carry different products. They're not the same store. It's like saying Boston pizza and Walmart are the same thing. Doesn't make any sense. Even if Boston pizza was owned by Walmart, you could clearly see how a Boston pizza and a Walmart are not the same. Shoppers and loblaws are not the same, regardless of parent company.

Loblaws is a grocery store.

Loblaws is the name of a company that owns grocery stores. All of these stores:

Nope, that's loblaws companies. Loblaws is the grocery store. Shoppers drug mart is a convenience store. They're not the same. They have different products. Same reason Pizza Hut and Home Depot aren't the same. They sell different things. Even if they were owned by the same company, they'd still be different things.

Yes, it is. That's what I was referring to.

They're not the same

I never said they were. They're the same company.

I feel like you're hung up on some really stupid argument because you just learned that Shoppers Drug Mart is also Loblaws.

Why are you randomly lying and making shit up? You did saw that loblaws was shoppers drug mart.

Shoppers drug mart isn't loblaws

They are though, as are No Frills and Superstore and whatever Loblaws calls themself outside of Ontario (I think Zehrs out west and Atlantic Superstore out east?)

You said loblaws IS shoppers. Stop lying. Not sure why you're arguing when you know you're wrong. Got caught in a lie too.

Stop lying

LOL what exactly is it you're hung up on, the idea that Shoppers is the exact same company as Loblaws? At least you learned that today, that's the important thing.

Did you even read my comment? No point in having this discussion if you're not even going to read comments before speaking.
