This truly sounds pathetic. Although it clearly displays the real power hierarchy.

In February, the House of Commons' committee that studies food prices urged Loblaw and Walmart to sign on to the grocery code of conduct, or risk having it made law. Both organizations have said they will not sign the code as currently drafted, saying it could raise prices for Canadians.

I suppose oil, though changing to renewables would more than definitely, believe it or not, raise prices as well.

Higher prices means higher tax revenue, more tax at the register and more tax when you work overtime to pay for your groceries.

There is NO incentive for any level of government to reduce grocery prices, or any prices.
