Using their market power, the grocery companies use aggressive strategies and lower-price store-brands such as President’s Choice to kill competition. One reason Kleenex, the marketing pioneer of tissue paper, lags Scotties in Canada goes back to 1995-7. Another constraint on Kleenex would be that Kruger just launched Bonterra, a new “sustainable” brand of tissue products for the Canadian market. Grocery chain purchasing policies, which favour lower prices, are important contributors to the shape and size of the tissue market — but as enhancers of competition.

The commission on electoral representation will submit its findings to politicians within the next month. (CBC/Radio-Canada - image credit)Quebec's electoral map could look different the next time the province goes to the polls. The commission decides on the electoral changes, but MNAs are consulted — a process which is sometimes fraught because changing the electoral map is controversial. Montreal, however, is not the only place that could lose out under the current revision of Quebec's electoral map. But changes to the electoral map, particularly the elimination of a riding, are generally unpopular, according to Louis Massicotte, who served as commissioner for the Quebec component of the last federal electoral riding redistribution.

‘I challenge everybody to shop locally for Christmas and help these guys out’Leaders in Hay River, N.W.T., say they’ll be lobbying the territorial and federal governments to find additional support for local businesses after a five-week evacuation due to wildfire. Hay River’s evacuation order lifted Saturday, allowing residents to return, though the town remains under an evacuation alert in case the nearby wildfire flares up again. In prior disasters, the town has been able to benefit from federal funding through the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor). Hay River senior administrative officer Glenn Smith said the town received about $1.5 million for its flooding last spring. “It’s just not enough to cover the costs that these businesses were incurring during a lengthy evacuation,” he said, adding Hay River businesses were impacted by multiple rent payments as one example of expenses.
