No, Canadian companies pull the same bullshit too. Consumer protection laws are little more than "agreements" that many companies are directly pulling out of. In particular with grocery stores, if Galen Weston (the owner of the largest family of grocery chains in the country) wants it, it happens. Look into the bread price fixing situation from a few years back. Nothing actually came of it on a legal front, aside from metaphorically smacking the companies on the nose with a rolled up newspaper and being told they're being bad.
