This isn't unique to Canada. It's a problem in many nations right now.

I think it's a case of "we should bring nations together and look for solutions together"; this problem transcends borders and can't really be solved on our own (it's practically a Timothy Morton hyper-object, the more I think about it).

We are facing a common enemy shared by several states, and we need to understand its scope and root causes. I feel that simply handing out checks as compensation is just a band-aid that won't last. We're far from a lasting solution…

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 pretty sure it's not something unique to Canada.

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.
