Terrible solution.
Break up and split the wholesale and retail operations. Legislate against wholesale pricing discrimination (Wholesale pricing cannot have price breaks which exclude smaller competitors)

Why "terrible"? You got something against crown corporations?

I don’t have a universal like or dislike of publicly owned companies. Expending limited resources and political capital on running a supermarket before trying any antitrust regulation is a waste of governmental resources.

Fuck Weston nationalize Loblaws. Boom running a supermarket made easy.

It's a solution that can be implemented by powerless people on their own. I agree that the state has better means at its disposal, but they're not going to help any time soon.
