    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:

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

    Loblaws CEO Galen Weston uses AI image generator to create Per Bank to replace himself as CEO. 😂

    @blogTO Galen Weston should have stepped down around 10 years ago when @PresChoice completely ruined their vegetable lasagna. What they did to it years ago should be considered criminal.

    Galen Weston is stepping down as Loblaw’s CEO so he can spend more quality time with his cardigans.

    Loblaws really just swapped out Galen Weston for a No Frills/Zehrs Danish version of Galen Weston and thought we wouldn't notice.

    Galen Weston in 2024 probably: "Well gosh, don't ask me. I don't run that company anymore. Now where's my ivory backscratcher!?"

    Free screenplay idea: a Looper-type film where Galen and Per Bank must fight to the death over the future of price gouging. https://t.co/Q8blEaCAj8

    "Per Bank" has to be the most capitalistic name to ever exist. I need someone to interview his parents and understand 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!
