Canadians are being gouged at the supermarket cash register by a handful of corporations that act like a cartel, jacking up prices and using "shrinkflation" to sell less for more.

They've also been caught in a series of scandals, from "Tatergate"---a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. against Canadian potato corporations for price-fixing---to Loblaws and others charging for the packaging on meat, for years.

The simple answer is price caps on food staples, an NDP policy that was successfully implemented in France just last year. With the cost of living about to shoot up again, we must prevent price gouging by Canada's corporate grocery magnates.
