Never a fan when a governing body throws the 'safety' or 'think of the children' justification up.

Shoppers market share in Alberta has been growing tremendously, not sure about Safeway. Independent has been shrinking for decades.
I don't think the market share was the biggest reason. I think it's part self righteousness (I didn't go to school to give out cheap incentive points) and part precedent as it's been done successfully in BC
