Funny you should mention grocery stores:

When one dynasty (the Weston family) owns nearly a 3rd of the entire grocery market, steal from people by fixing the price of bread, driving independent retailers and smaller suppliers out of business through exploitative supply agreements?
Yes I would like to take a big chunk of money from these hoarders.

My budget for charity (including donations to aid groups, charities, political groups, giving cash and food directly to the homeless, donations to FOSS projects) is between 1-2% of my take home pay. I’m not religious, but when good fortune happens to me, I obligate myself to pay it forward to others in thanks.
Example proof
What’s your point in asking this?
Corporations aren’t people. Tax them and use that money to help every Canadian.
The simple answer to this: actually giving money to poor people is The Most Effective thing to do with it. Trickle-down is an absolute fallacy, but trickle-UP is a very measurable thing; and it’s been measured. So why care? Pure tax profit on investment – it’s smart business.
But that’s not what the non-conservatives do. They don’t give handouts but they smooth the negative effects of living poor. Fewer bad days mean more good days, and more good days mean actual economic mobility.
… you know: that thing the conservatives sell you every time but seem challenged to provide when all they do is raise middle-class taxes and cut rich-boy taxes. It’s like it’s a con.
