We wanted to share an episode with you from another show on the network, COMMONS! This season they are digging into monopolies and asking, is there something special about Canada that makes it especially hospitable to monopolies? To listen to the rest of the COMMONS: Monopoly season, use this link or search COMMONS in your favourite podcast app.
Canadians are being squeezed at every end. When it comes to cell phone bills, grocery bills, housing, entertainment, we’re all paying more than ever before.
But a small number of companies that dominate their industries are reaping in enormous profits.
This season of COMMONS we’ll be digging into all of the monopolies, oligopolies and cartels that dominate our lives. And for our first stop, we head to the supermarket.
Featured in this episode: Vass Bednar, Marco Chown Oved (Toronto Star)
