I've never heard a single 'Canadian shopper' say that. What a BS article from the title on down.

Having said that, I'd like to see a transition to fines being a percentage of gross income. A 10% fine for each year they were price fixing would definitely get their attention.

Yeah, if fines work like a "cost of doing business" that they just account for on their budget sheets then it's really just pointless. It's also hilarious when I see a government fine a company for doing something wrong, but the customers that got screwed over get none of the money AND the fine amount is not as much as the profit they gained off doing the action. It's like a double "fuck you" to the customer who got screwed over.
