Trudeau calls on major grocers to create plan to stabilize food prices. (Or else he'll raise prices!)

Do you have any idea why this happens? Smaller stores are closing.

That's right. Because food distribution is monopolized. Bigger stores get a more generous wholesale discount and can squeeze smaller one on prices, and economies of scale. Small stores cannot get great local deals because there's no independent distribution. Top harvest season you can get locally produced food dirty cheap; in Ontario, the price barely budges. The middlemen squeeze both the producers (farmers) and the retailers. The end result being, consumer pays the price of the distributor.

Lol.. the grocery stores are responsible for Trudeau implementing a tax on essentials and refusing to stabilize the oil supply

Ha Ha Ha.

Every time you post you demonstrate how clueless you really are. Farmers market prices are way higher than grocery store prices. Grocery stores sell them side by side and Ontario produce is higher priced.
