Walmart is not alone. Sobeys, Metro and others have jumped on this bandwagon. Clearly, we have a competition problem for Canadians. Major grocery stores are lining up to make things more expensive, while other parts of Canada are reporting record problems with food insecurity.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6311719\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> stand up to the big grocery giants and make sure that our Canadian competition laws are being followed?</p>",
