  "account": "Loblaw Cos. Ltd. is reintroducing T symbols on grocery shelf labels to indicate products affected by tariffs amid escalating trade tensions between Canada and the United States. The retailer plans to bring back these symbols for the first annual payment of $205.00 plus GST for a one-year subscription. Loblaw will continue to use the maple leaf symbol to denote homegrown products and reintroduce country-of-origin labels in fresh produce aisles. The grocery giant believes it is in a stronger position than before, having expanded its domestic and non-U.S. supplier base.",
