BC should should compete with the other grocery chains to lower their prices. The first stores should be set up in First Nations communities as they often have the most expensive food.

Its tough out here on Vancouver Island seeing those high totals.

Absolutely. Access to food can be thought of as a utility just as necessary as power, heating, healthcare, etc. And just like those industries, a public option or preferably full nationalization will deliver better results than private interests.
