In the decade since 1,134 people were killed and thousands injured in Bangladesh’s Rana Plaza garment factory collapse, promises to improve safety ring hollow. The Fifth Estate’s Mark Kelley revisits the site of the deadly collapse and finds workers are still not paid a living wage – including those working for Canadian companies such as Loblaw’s Joe Fresh.

Mark Kelley did a great job exposing the slave drivers. The brave girls who spoke out have to be careful, they could be targeted.

Galen Weston took in $8.4 million in total compensation in the 2022 fiscal year in his role at the head of Loblaw Companies Ltd.

Meanwhile, Empire Company Ltd. CEO Michael Medline took in $8.7 million, while Metro Inc. CEO Eric La Fleche earned $5.4 million.

But Weston's Loblaw compensation isn't the full picture, as he is also head of the George Weston Ltd. holding company.

His total compensation reached $11.7 million in 2022, a nearly $1.1-million increase from the year before.
