Consumer furor over rising food prices has reignited anger over the infamous bread price-fixing scandal, which became public in 2017 and allegedly involved several major grocers colluding to inflate bread prices.
“It’s time to get answers,” said anti-poverty activist Irene Breckon, 76, of Elliot Lake, Ont. “It’s not right that the poor people are suffering so much more, and the rich people … keep bumping up their prices.”
According to data released Tuesday, grocery prices have climbed by 11 per cent year over year.
