Yeah, well, if the gov't hadn't allowed Loblaws to buy Shoppers, etc we might not be in this bad of shape.

No different than the CRTC allowing Rogers to buy Shaw, etc etc and now the top 3 telecoms control the whole gd market.

When gov'ts forgot their primary purpose is to serve all of the people - not just the corps or rich people - is the day we started sinking into the current quagmire.

So, instead of helping to support local, independent grocers survive against Sobeys, Loblaws, and Metro, they're inviting further foreign control over our food infrastructure?

How could this possibly go wrong?
