They've engaged in price fixing before - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_...xing_in_Canada - so its not an outlandish claim. |
Yeah, and it should be investigated. I'm not claiming that they're all great from a consumer point of view and we should all trust them. But in Canada we have a few issues in this realm. The dairy cartel is notably an unchecked issue that we seem to be fine with, and we allow a lot of other oligarchies to run along and do their thing. Banks and telecom jump to mind in that area.
