It seems to stem from this story, with whistleblowers working at SDM calling out Loblaws shady tactics of abusing patients for profits. Supposedly this is a bigger deal in Ontario that implemented MedsChecks for which Loblaws execs clearly saw free money to gouge. I don't think we have a direct equivalent in Alberta.

The reddit screenshot shows proof of a SDM store providing a loyalty incentive to employees (which is of course only spendable through Loblaws) to get more med checks and clearly contradicts Leger's statement. Loyalty program points are scrutinized and accounted for and no way that corporate was not aware of these incentives given.

In this situation calling it "abusing patients for profits" is pretty far from the truth. They're just milking a cash cow.
