      From the article:

      The bureau subsequently executed search warrants against numerous companies, including Weston, Loblaw, Metro Inc., Sobeys Inc., Walmart Canada, Giant Tiger Stores Ltd., Overwaitea Food Group and Canada Bread.

      Seems like we might see more in the future. One can hope, anyways.

        If they aren’t completely incompetent, it shouldn’t be too difficult to not leave a trace. ROBeLUS have been doing price fixing for ages with impunity and no receipts.
