Headline check

One of the two things this headline claims is not in the report.

  • The headline puts “‘closing in on sale to Canada’s Weston family for $9bn’” in quotation marks. Nobody says those words anywhere in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. How this is checked

This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 400-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.

How this outlet filed it, and how we rewrote it
