Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it's best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.

100%. They're the only ones making a decent rotisserie chicken these days, and it's only $8!?

My mom bought a 50% off rotisserie chicken from Zehrs yesterday that looked shrivelled and disgusting...7 dollars after the half off 😳. Managed to convince her to join the boycott at least!

I’d wager it is, or was, a loss leader. Its position at the very end of the store has to be strategic to make you look at everything else on the way.
