Key Boycott Drivers:

1. Jim Pattison's Direct $2.9 Million Donation to israel: Jim Pattison donated NIS 10.6 million (approximately $2.9 million) to a project called \\\"israeli Roots Journey.\\\" This project is co-funded by the israeli state and has been referred to by some israeli teachers as \\\"incessant indoctrination.\\\" This donation directly contributes to israel's ideological and cultural infrastructure. Pattison has also financially supported many right-wing projects.BDS Coalition Canada: Shame on Canadian Media — Jim Pattison, NIS 10.6M donation (November 2023)CPA Vancouver: Boycott The Jim Pattison Group — israeli Apartheid (March 2012)
2. Sale of israeli Settlement Products and Labeling Issues: According to Canadian BDS Coalition reports, Pattison Food Group supermarkets stock products imported from israel (especially fresh fruit, vegetables, and dates labeled \\\"Product of israel\\\"). Some of these products come from illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. It has been documented that Save-On-Foods' Northgate (Winnipeg) location sells israeli products (israeli coffees, tahini, olive oil, etc.).BDS Coalition Canada: Retailers Selling israeli Products (November 2023)Winnipeg Free Press: Northgate Save-On expands kosher offerings (September 2018)
