… When it comes to price fixing, the United States doesn’t fool around. When Congress and the White House have concerns, they act on them. In Canada, not so much.
The bread price-fixing scandal, which came to light in 2017 when Loblaw admitted having participated in an alleged industry-wide operation, opened the door to some public criticism. In 2017, Loblaw’s Ghalen Weston strategically threw everyone in the industry under the bus when admitting Loblaw’s involvement in a 14-year-long bread price-fixing scheme. By admitting guilt and supporting the investigation, Loblaw received immunity from the Competition Bureau.
If you’re going to be a criminal in Canada be a white collar criminal. The Government may even buy you new freezers.
