Reply to comment by Taniwha_NZ in Canadian brand No Name locking prices despite inflation by LuxAlpha
The company that own No Name has a stranglehold on our food in Canada. They have like a 75% market share of everything. They owned half of all bakeries, one third of all frozen food processing, and had deals with nearly every farm. They own entire corners of some markets, and have eked out or bought up 2/3 of all grocery stores, and drug stores.

No we complain about it nearly as much as we complain about the weather. The trouble is there's not much room in a market with only 38 million people. In the states that's like three major cities, here that's the whole country.
