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.

That would conceivably be better — but I still suspect the government and citizens of Canada would get better bang for their buck making deals with existing food distribution networks, instead of using billions of dollars building a new distribution network.

Canada’s problems are ones of affordability, and not of insufficient distribution capacity.
