đ©âđŒ Robin Shaban is an economist that used to work at the Competition Bureau. You can follow her on Twitter @RobinShaban. She and I are collaborating on a paper on the State of Competition Policy in Canada for McGillâs Centre for Media, Technology & Democracy, which will be published in the new year. Weâre having a lot of fun working on it.

Youâve read about Loblaw in âregsâ and today you can listen to an expanded conversation about how the company is shaping the country on Canadaland.
They own Loblaw, which is much more than a grocer. Itâs an insurance company, a bank, a medical cannabis company and a media company. When you put it all together, that amounts to the largest private ownership of data in Canada.

đ Big thanks to Jesse Brown and Kasia Mychajlowycz for the opportunity to think more about the implications of the companyâs ability to personalize rewards and incentivize shopping.
