Shockwaves were sent through the grocery industry on Friday when Amazon made the shocking announcement that they’d be purchasing the high-end grocery retailer Whole Foods for the “measly” price tag of $13.4 billion USD.

This is a major move for the e-commerce giant, as this merger will place Amazon in hundreds of neighbourhoods across the US and Canada, giving them a much needed edge in the brick-and-mortar retail game. Amazon has been struggling to get customers to switch to purchasing groceries online, something they have been offering for over a decade but have found that people prefer to buy their produce at physical locations.

This merger, however, will give them that much sought after edge as Whole Foods has over 460 locations in both the US, Canada and Britain.

This will also give Amazon a chance to freely advertise their Amazon Prime services (a $99/year membership fee) in Whole Foods locations, and possibly give members a chance to receive discounted groceries – similar to how Prime members can receive discounts at bookstores. Currently, 49 million Americans subscribe to the Amazon Prime services, which is estimated to make up about 44 percent of all households.

On the pop cultural side of things, the merger between Whole Foods and Amazon provided the Twitter-sphere with a ‘prime’ opportunity to make an easy joke.

Here are some of the reactions from those of us who won’t be making a $13.4 billion deal anytime soon:

Have you made your Canada Day plans yet? If not, then you may want to consider making it a week long vacation in Montreal rather than just a weekend long trip to a friend’s cottage, as right now Hotels.com Canada is offering some big discounts on hotels in Montreal over Canada Day weekend and the Montreal International Jazz Festival (which takes place between June 29-July 8).

Depending on your location and star-rating preferences, you could get a hotel room in Montreal for as little as $72 CAD/night!

If you’re wanting to catch both Canada Day and a bit of the jazz festival, then you might want to try the dates June 29-July 6, giving you 7 full nights. For those dates, I was able to find the Hotel Universel Montreal – a 3.5 star rating hotel – selling rooms for just $197/night, though normally they would’ve cost $245/night.

This offer from Hotels.com will only be available for a limited time.
