Agreed, I’m just explaining why Loblaws gets undue attention. Sobeys is half the size of Loblaws and Loblaws has a way bigger presence in Southern Ontario.
I don’t think they get off the hook exactly, I just think journalists go for the bigger target. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen a headline like “Your iPhone is about to explode and kill you!” and it turns out it’s literally about any device with a lithium-ion battery. It’s just to grab attention.

Safeway Canada is owned by Sobeys along with many other brands like Freshco.
Really almost all Canadian groceries stores are owned by Loblaws, Jim Pattinson group or Sobeys. Again not sure why they get off the hook.
3 way monopoly is the Canadian way.
Where do you shop if not at Loblaws? Anything not a subsidiary of the above three?
