The number of tariff-hit products at the grocery store could soon spike as pre-tariff inventory runs out, CEO Per Bank said, which means prices for some items will go up too.
Any excuse for Loblaws to raise their prices even higher than they have been.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Weston started sourcing fewer Canadian products so they could raise prices.

Just at first while people get used to the increase. Then switch to avoid tariff without lowering price
I personally didn’t see any price decreases when the carbon tax was removed so I wouldn’t be surprised.
Not much to decrease:
Did anyone tell the grocers that?
If the government suspects them of doing this, couldn’t they pass a law requiring them to display the tarrif amount?
Not sure we could expect the government to do that either, but seems like an option.
