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.

No, it should happen at the national level for buying power. It should include the full supply chain as exploited by current national and multinational grocers.

So I guess what I'm saying, is pick one and nationalize the whole damn thing. Weston/Loblaws would be my pick.

Everyone in a position to complain about loss of wealth or income as a result of nationalization has enough of either or both to just ignore.
