  • Dominion
  • Les Entrepôts Presto
  • Extra Foods
  • Fortinos
  • Freshmart
  • L'Intermarché

  • Zehrs Markets

Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it's best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.

Yeah. My one local store is independant, and as a result it's super expensive and mostly sells produce already going bad. Y'know, because whichever wholesaler punishes them for not being in the club.

What we actually need is for those new competition laws parliament passed this year to be applied.

I bet your shitty grocer would do that regardless. Sounds like he's ripping people off

I can't rule it out. As far as I know he has no control over what lettuce comes off the trucks, though, and I don't see a motive for making it worse.
