      @BedSharkPal
      Capitalism.
      Both the Liberals and Cons are pro-business, and charging more when you can get away with it is a Very Good And Brilliant Business Strategy.

        Pro-business should be anti-trust.

        Robinson-Patman Act is anti-trust.

        Assume all buyers are potential sellers then price discrepancies are anti-trust violations.

          Liberals are centrists. Liberalism is not a leftist ideology.

            I’d still get him elected and lobby the party for doing domestic defence investment. That’d be easier to achieve than getting con or lib gov’t to not spend much more money on foreign equipment. We still have not canceled the F35 purchase.

      An actual argument for would be haggling and bargaining at places like markets.

      But to pretend selective pricing only happens there is wrong.
