BC should should compete with the other grocery chains to lower their prices. The first stores should be set up in First Nations communities as they often have the most expensive food.

Its tough out here on Vancouver Island seeing those high totals.

Im not sure a crown corporation would be the most efficient. Not sure how to control for it though.price controls tied to wages perhaps?

Such as groceries can't increase more than the amount that average wages increase?
