Yup, it should 100% of revenue of the false product. Redistributed to canadian food producers. And the execs who green lit this should be thrown in prison
Swedish day fines have, contrary to its Finnish counterparts, a maximum limit so as not to render too excessive of a fine should the offender have a very large income.
Federally override regressive zoning laws that give them their monopoly on land so we can have actual competition. Cap density limits and taxes to a healthy commercial real estate value.

If these fines don't START with forfeiting the ill gotten revenue then they are just a fee.

Accountability, responsibility.
Sweden and others have a sliding fine with no top end, based on the income of those being fined.
A baker speeding 90 in a 70, gets a 154.00, but the billionaire doing 90 in a 70 gets fined $14,675.00.
So as to make the pain of the fine equal for all.

Th billionaire fine needs at least 2-4 more zeros to make the point.

You can look up the fines in Scandinavian countries. Its quite sane and satisfactory.
They aren't fined too much, just enough so it makes sense to not speed anymore.

I was going off the numbers in this post. $15,000 is a rounding error to a billionaire. Doubt they’d even care. Just pay it and speed.
If the number is accurate I stand by my comment. If the number is inaccurate that’s in the hands of the person I replied to.

Oh, I'm on board with the concept. Just trying to correct a bit of accidental misinformation on Sweden having no upper limit to day-fines.
I'm pretty sure our military justice system uses a a form of day-fines. So we even have an existing precedent at home!

And then some fines on top.
adespoton@lemmy.ca · 17 pts · 183d
So they’re fined the amount I pay them annually? What about fines for all the other Canadians they’ve defrauded?

If you are able, you can add "fines" yourself by not shopping there.

I add fines at the self checkout

Nationalize food wholesale
Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 182d
And the cost of that fine will be passed on to us consumers!

To be clear, this was a single location, not the entire company.

At least split their real estate holdings into a separate corporation and start breaking up their vertical integration.
