Manitoba to tackle grocery price differences and expand milk controls in 2026 amid inflation concerns.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced plans in December 2025 to address "differential pricing" in groceries, where identical items may be priced differently based on consumer data or delivery apps, aiming to ensure fairer prices.
The move, set for 2026, follows concerns over algorithm-driven price variations seen in the U.S., though no local examples were cited.
The province also considers expanding milk price controls beyond one-litre containers to balance affordability and support for local dairy farmers.
These steps are part of broader efforts to boost grocery competition and address high inflation, which reached a provincial high in November 2025 due to transportation and property costs.
Kinew confirmed 2026 will not be an election year, with focus on budget and health care reforms, and reaffirmed Manitoba’s ban on U.S. alcohol imports at government stores pending trade reciprocity.
