For non-Canadians Metro is one of three, yes THREE, companies that own all the major grocery stores in Canada. There's only 3 and they own a series of subsidiaries/different grocery store chains under them each. the other two being Loblaws and Sobeys. Loblaws recently was busted for price fixing the cost of Bread for years.

So these people doing this to Metro is a good thing. Grocery stores in Canada are truly evil.

You’re posting on an Australian instance - we have two chains and they’ve been proven to price fix.
