And I thought American antitrust was bad. What the hell is happening up there??
Canada has a very serious oligarch problem.
New Brunswick is literally owned by one family. (There’s circumstantial evidence that they’re poisoning a portion of the population in New Brunswick)
Our largest national grocer is owned by one family. (They’ve raised prices causing inflation that’s hurting the entire country)
One of our largest telecom companies? Yep. One family. (Canada has some of the most expensive telecommunications in the world)
Our mining companies commit atrocities all over the world.
Our government fights tooth and nail to ensure there’s no real opposition. We’ve only ever had two parties elected and they do the same things, but talk differently. (If you’re American, that probably sounds familiar)
