Call on the government of Canada to investigate the major grocery chains for price fixing


Call on the government of Canada to investigate the major grocery chains for price fixing
The Issue
My grocery bills have skyrocketed. Last month I noticed that I was spending about 20 to 25 per cent more on food than I used to, without having changed my buying habits since last year or indulging in anything extravagant. In fact, I have stopped or cut down on buying many things I used to because of the increase in cost. For example, a box of frozen haddock that used to be $12.99 is now $17.99. Gourmet frozen pizza went from $10 to $13.99. Cheese has gone up by about 30%; meat has skyrocketed. And it's all across the board: all the major supermarkets seem to have raised their prices at about the same rate. I have to ask myself whether there was a collective decision on their part to do so.
Please sign this petition if you think there should be a government investigation into whether there was such collusion on their part, which could constitute price fixing.
