Loblaw, Sobeys, Metro and Costco sell about 67 cents of every dollar Canadians spend on groceries, by a USDA estimate. The four biggest US food retailers sell about 35 cents.

    Just wanted to point out an iconic quote from BC Green Leader from tonight’s debate, said towards the other two candidates “Neither of you have the guts to stand up to Big Grocery and it shows”.

    Bless Emily Lowan fr.

      Good on the BC Greens holding the BCNDP to account. You have the fed NDPs, Ontario NDPs, and the Toronto mayor all talking about local COOP groceries, while BC has an NDP government and aren’t.
