Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it's best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.

My mental health can't even take walking into the store that considered us all thieves. I get so pissed off and irrationally angry seeing a Loblaws store let alone walking in...I'll never go back even if they 'fix the prices' (sadly this pun isn't intended...)

I see what you did there

Loblaws has stolen plenty from Canadian farmers, suppliers, store owners, grocery workers and consumers over the years. It's time to treat the Weston family as the thieves they are.

The unpleasant experience is one of the main reasons I haven't shopped there in many years.
