Mergers and acquisitions have created food oligopolies that are inefficient, barely regulated, unfair, and even dangerous.

Even though this article is about the U.S. there is a clear parallel with the Canadian food industry.

Hahahahahaha like some people have a choice.

I am sure some don’t but there are people I know that shop at loblows and complain about ever increasing pricing, while a block over there is an independently owned grocer with much lower prices. i.e. Loblaws Peppers in 4 pack $10.99 , next door throw 4 peppers in a bag, comes to $3.90 by weight.
