Toronto: The cost of bread in Canada is MURDER!

L&O Toronto: Criminal Intent S1 E6 “Minnow and the Shark”

We are going to ask you politely to confess to this murder and give you a respectful amount of time to compose a sincere apology in both English and French. Please and thank you.

Toronto detectives Henry Graff and Frankie Bateman arrest the hit man responsible for the murder of Zoe Vaughn, the COO at grocery store mega-chain Best Betts. The search for who hired the assassin leads them to Douglas Hill, owner of rival Hill Breads. But photos taken by the victim show the competitors were actually colluding to fix the price of bread in Canada. Graff uses his Gorenesque skills to deduce CEO Nadia Betts fooled Hill into hiring the hit man - not to keep Vaughn from exposing their price fixing scheme - but to keep her from stealing Betts's job.

We're talking about the new Canadian spin-off series Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent season 1 episode 6 "Minnow and the Shark." Our guest is Simone Paget from the We’re Never Doing This Again podcast.

Plot points for this episode come from the scandal over the Canadian bread price fixing scheme.
