In its current state, both Loblaw and Walmart Canada have so far refused to sign on to the grocer code of code that has been in development since fall 2021.

Time for the government to operate grocery stores selling staple items. No need for them to get into luxury goods and snacks, but a not for profit business for grains, flour, fruits, vegetables, dairy and bread etc would be nice. Keep those costs down and they can create additional measures to stabalize costs.

Like Co-op grocery stores but an actual co-op with better prices.

Maybe give extra food expiring to food banks could help a ton too, instead of being evil and throwing it away.

Thats not profitable nor will it make an oligarch even more rich so that won't fly in this country. Canada is a captialistic hellscape with a stereotype for being polite about it.

Why go through all this trouble when they can legislate the prices, or profit margins on these items at all retailers?
