Canada's Competition Bureau investigates grocery chain parent companies Loblaws and Sobeys over real estate restrictions.

Experts suggest limiting real estate restrictions in Canada's grocery sector could lead to stronger competition, potentially providing consumers with more choices and possibly lowering prices. The Competition Bureau is investigating the parent companies of grocery chains Loblaws and Sobeys over the use of rental terms that include restrictions on other tenants and their activities. Meanwhile, ER doctors in Canada and the US are urged to prescribe specific medications to help curb cravings and alleviate withdrawal from heavy alcohol use.
