What's telling is that some of Loblaws brands actually went up in the survey. When you own so much of the grocery business and have a captive customer base you can do pretty much whatever. Do we have any antitrust legislation in this country?

We have some of the most concentrated markets in the world in certain sectors, notably the telecom cartel. Due to car culture and the advent of the supermarket, we don't have small neighborhood grocers anymore. We do here in Vancouver, small immigrant run shops, and let me tell you, the quality is high and the prices are WAY lower than the national chains.
