Confirmation arrived of Pete Buttigieg’s six-month McKinsey & Co. consulting stint with Loblaws, where the U.S. presidential candidate built an analysis of how to cut prices while boosting the bottom line. This led to even more suspicion of what exactly the job entailed, but Mayor Pete’s campaign claims it didn’t involve fixing bread prices.
