Who else is to blame ? They set the prices and are making record profits.

I think the reason I blame them is because it's their fault, but I'm not Canadian, so I don't count.

This truly sounds pathetic. Although it clearly displays the real power hierarchy.

In February, the House of Commons' committee that studies food prices urged Loblaw and Walmart to sign on to the grocery code of conduct, or risk having it made law. Both organizations have said they will not sign the code as currently drafted, saying it could raise prices for Canadians.

I'm surprised and disappointed the percentage isn't higher than that, but these polls tend to have skewed sample groups anyway.

I want a grocery store that doesn't require you to join their shitty club to get lower prices.

I'm more impressed the numbers are this low.

Just to point out in respective of at least "Loblaw" they own a lot more than just grocery stores and just using the profit margin is not a absolute indicator of how profitable they truly are.

Report regarding grocery inflation.

We know very little of what is going on in food processing, transportation, and at other companies who participate in the food industry. A proper investigation led by the Competition Bureau of Canada would shed some light on practices in the industry.

Sounds like a great market situation for Aldi or Lidl to expand into!

This is why passing school lunches for school children will help as it will be the provinces negotiating the prices.
