Reply to comment by spoof17 in Canadian brand No Name locking prices despite inflation by LuxAlpha

Fuck Galen Weston and this fake-as-fuck price freeze PR move.

They froze the prices while they were high. They only "froze" the shitty No Name house brand; they didn't freeze their Presidents Choice house brand. They previously got caught price fixing - we all know they are up to shady shit considering all the major grocers in Canada are making record profits during a pandemic and massive inflation.

Why is Canada just a dirty breeding ground for this type of fuckery?

It sure is interesting when the three cellular providers all release the same plans on the same day. Not shady at all is it, CRTC?

Because Canada has always had a small group of wealthy people who act toward their collective benefit, often by influencing government decision making.

The Family Compact never went away.

Because the government actively encourages oligopolies

I also read somewhere that its pretty typical to “freeze” prices in Q4 for budgeting purposes etc…so its just all around so ridiculous

Loblaws does over $50 billion per year in revenue. This is not about making things better for the average consumer.
