The thing is, companies from thr larger provinces have so many more market protections than those from small ones. They have distribution networks already. Thry have a larger local customer base. They’re in positions to just expand and take over.
You’re more likely to see companies from Ontario or BC kill products from PEI or Nova Scotia than you are to see them on your shelves. Centralization is just cheaper.
Hopefully locals in PEI and Nova Scotia stay loyal to local stores.
I also hope companies from other provinces begin expanding into BC and ON. Now would be the time, considering all the box stores needing to find Canadian brands to replace American ones on shelves which arent moving.
