The article really paints a much clearer (and truer) picture....

Roughly two-thirds of Imperial’s 1,700 Esso stations across Canada have been operating under what it calls a “branded wholesaler” model for about 15 years. The Calgary-based company said Wednesday that it’s looking into whether it makes sense to do the same with the remainder.
Essentially its a franchise, which already 2/3's of their stores operate as. Nothing really shocking (or anything that the government would need to intervene with).
