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.

You mean like the roaring success that is BCFerries?

The issue with BC Ferries is that it's run as a private company despite its only owner being the government. Worst of both worlds. They need to be under the Ministry of Transportation like the inland ferries.

The most obvious comparison would be BC Liquor Stores, which is doing pretty good in fact. But we'll see how they'll fare once we get alcohol selling on supermarkets... by the end of this century perhaps

Or perhaps like the envy-inducing low cost and high standards of service of ICBC.
