Three grocery giants—Loblaws, Sobeys, and Metro—control our food system. They're price-fixing and colluding to keep prices sky-high, even as inflation comes down. The government needs to take action and create a public, not-for-profit option for groceries.

Butter for $10. That's not inflation, that's profiteering.

Meanwhile, Galen Weston, the owner of Loblaws, is worth $18 billion.

This is market failure. When the market fails to deliver the necessities of a dignified life at prices people can afford, the government needs to step up.

We need a public option for food and groceries. A new public food system, grounded in public farmland and supply chains that puts people before profits.

Add your name if you believe:

• Families shouldn't have to choose between food and rent

• Price gouging should be illegal

• We need a public grocery option to break the monopoly

It's time to fight for a government that stops serving the money and starts serving the many.
