Sobey posted multiple images displaying their pride in Remembrance Day and said that they are looking for new ways to continue on with the Remembrance Day spirit.

Canadians applauded the efforts of the company for speaking out.

"This is how we roll here in Canada. Shape up, or ship out," one Twitter user said

Canadian leaders have also spoken up about Whole Food's ban and quickly took to social media to publicly condemn the move.

Jagmeet Singh pointed out that this was not the first time he thinks Whole Foods has stepped out of line, comparing this to when they banned staff from showing support for Black Lives Matter.

Doug Ford equally called the decision 'disgusting and disgraceful' and demanded the company backtrack.
