  1. Lol letting an industry with rampant corruption and anticompetitive practices to police themselves?

    “Trust me bro. No more price fixing and robber-baronry”

  2. UnionGuyCanada on

    I haven’t seen a complete breakdown of how this code works, but it doesn’t talk about anyway to lower prices. 

      This is moronic. Letting people eith a self interest in collusion work together even tighter is insane. 

  3. I expect less than nothing from this but I hope people are watching Manitoba and some of their changes. First going after restrictions on stores and now potentially ending differential pricing, maybe that leaves an impact.
