It sounds like the feds want a grocery that'll compete directly with Loblaws and co across all their domains. But what if we required divestment? Like, a grocery store shouldn't own a clothing brand, a separate pharmacy, a banking line, a telecom brand, and whatever else they've bought.

Maybe those should be spun into separate businesses.

1000% (insurance as well). Breakup loblaws, break up the telecomms; bring fairer prices to Canadians

Nationalize Telco, Groceries, Insurance, Utilities, Education. For local, by local.

If done correctly (big stretch here, and without the corruption that is already blatantly happening within our borders) it should drive prices hard enough to increase competition especially if someone wants to maintain a company. No more of this bullshit multi named single company operations.
