My main issue with that is that food availability, preferences, regulations, and suppliers vary wildly from city to city, let alone province to province.

A provincial crown corp might be able to pull it off, a national one couldn't.

A national crown corp could pull it off just as well as a national private corp like Loblaws could

I disagree; loblaws is under no pressure to standardize between provinces and sub-brands, a national crown corp would be.

I.E. Nobody cares if potatoes are a different price in different loblawses or no-frillses; but it would be a grand grievance, real or precived, of potatoes in Toronto were cheaper than PEI.
