Canada’s case is somewhat unique because we basically have a legalized groccery cartel/monopoly that stiffles competition and gets caught in price fixing schemes.
I’m not aware of other countries in a similar economic class as Canada that has such ineffective anti monopoly laws. Our corps barely even get a slap on the wrist for their price fixing schemes.
The Canadian government does seem to favor their cartels, and the right, who keeps saying they’re looking out for the little guy, is really against crown corporations, usually using the excuse of competition and the free market. Sadly, the Liberals have also drifted in that direction.
