Farmers’ markets and business groups say they are “sad and disappointed” in NoFrills and its parent company Loblaw after the company sent a mass-advertising text message encouraging customers to “skip the line” at their local farmers’ market and visit their stores instead.

Both groups have issued social media statements accusing Loblaw of attacking small business owners, who are not able to remain open to customers year-round and often face many barriers when looking to sell goods at grocery stores. It isn't yet clear how widely the text was distributed, and Loblaw did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Saturday.Italian rider Emiliano Portale has been eliminated from the Olympics after his horse was found to be bleeding from the mouth following the eventing dressage qualifiers.Canada's Olympic women's football team are deducted six points and coach Bev Priestman is banned for a year by Fifa over a drone spying scandal.
