Loblaw should become the nothing company and blink out of existence for how much they abuse the market, price fix, overpay asshole CEOs and have shitty products.

It's almost as if when a company gets to a certain size they should be nationalized if it's in the public's best interests.

Getting rid of the efficiencies defence is a good start.

The article also hints at a deeper problem of land use. Zoning is limiting the space where new competitors can establish themselves. The established conglomerates buy up what little land is available.

Provincial governments need to tax ground rents so the revenue gets used to foster competition, not lining billionaires’ pockets.

Municipalities need to open up the suburbs to become denser mixed use spaces, where small businesses can develop and thrive.
