Project Hammer strives to increase competition and decrease collusion in the Canadian grocery sector by creating a database of historical prices from top grocers. The goal is to make this data accessible for analysis and legal purposes, with the hope of bringing positive change to the industry. Individuals are encouraged to contribute their skills and insights to the project, whether it’s through economic analysis, data processing, bug spotting, or similar pricing work in other countries. The controversial concept of price freezes on certain products and the analysis of price tactics between different grocers are highlighted, with the ultimate goal of improving Canada’s grocery landscape.
