... And who owns ABF... ackshually... I mean...its RIGHT in the wiki page you linked.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittington_Investments
Oh, who are they? Owners Garfield Weston Foundation (79.2%) Weston family (20.8%)
Whittington is 2 seperate holding companies, one in Canada and one in the UK. The Canadian one ultimately owns Loblaws and family...the one in the UK controls ABF and its subsidiaries. Money flows from both to the Weston family, and my original point then was that poor beaten down Galen would benefit.
Weston Family, paupers that they are 😅, only own 20% of the UK Wittingtons.
But I see my mistake in assuming that both Wittingtons had stake in ABF.
I'm deleting my earlier comment about them being owned by jerks because it's clear they're owned by good Christians like Emu-Krasnov.
