    The Weston’s own most of the pharmacy, the grocery, food supply chain, and are moving into healthcare at breakneck pace. No shit it’s too concentrated. We need actual antitrust laws.

      Sadly it doesn’t matter if we have antitrust laws or not when no one is willing to enforce them.

        It does matter, we just need to put more public pressure on them.

          I hope “public pressure” is euphemistic for things a little more, erm, firm than “write angry articles on cbc”

          There was so much pressure on the Shawgers buyout, the Competition Bureau was overwhelmed. Yet, here we are.
