The Green Party of Ontario is advocating for a new tax on excess profits from major grocery retailers, dubbed the ‘Weston Tax,’ to combat rising food prices and support struggling families. Ontario Greens leader Mike Schreiner emphasized the urgency of addressing the affordability crisis as grocery giants continue to report record profits. By redistributing these profits, the party aims to alleviate financial burdens on everyday Ontarians who are increasingly making tough choices between essentials like rent and food.
