Project Hammer – Jacob Filipp (jacobfilipp.com)
 

Project Hammer aims to drive more competition and reduce collusion in the Canadian grocery sector.

  2. Make the database available in a format that is suitable for academic analysis and for legal action.
  3. Inform changemakers of the existence of this dataset (and make it reasonably easy for them to use).
