Five retailers—Loblaw, Sobeys, Metro, Costco and Walmart—control 75 per cent of Canada’s food retail market. In processing, the Canadian market is even more consolidated in some cases. Just two corporations—one of which was owned by Loblaw parent company George Weston Ltd. until recently—control 80 per cent of the bread-making market, for example.
Sobeys gets no Compliments from me, and Galen Weston would best be represented wearing a yellow no-name shirt with "money-sucking oligarch" written on it.
