" hazard it was n’t the President ’s Choice "

Canada’s most famous billionaire nepo-baby (and most notably… commercial star) is officially stepping down as President and CEO of Loblaw Companies Ltd.

While he’s not actually going that far (he’s still the chairman of Loblaw Companies), Canadians are still celebrating the axing of our nation’s most infamous price gouger. Here are the Twitter reactions:

1.

At least Loblaws is being honest about why Galen Weston is stepping down .

" Per Bank " has to be the most capitalist name to ever survive . I ask someone to interview his parent and sympathise the naming thought process asap . https://t.co/12RHEQsaxM

While we know this change won’t do much for his wallet (or ours for that matter re: grocery prices), it definitely is an end of an era. And perhaps an end to his career as a commercial star too. Let us know what you think down below!
