What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Olivia Chow, in Toronto, proposed offering tax breaks to independent and "mom-and-pop" stores opening in priority neighborhoods to pursue cheaper groceries. This local policy is being compared to government grocery stores in New York City. Observers noted that attracting larger discount chains to under-groceried areas might be a more effective strategy than supporting small businesses.
