    Lol as a Canadian these are all 100% accurate, with the exception of maybe bread culture being only 80% accurate. Our grocery store bread generally sucks ass, but in most areas you can find a bakery selling some pretty solid breads, at least in Ontario. I’m in the Waterloo region which has a large Mennonite population, so there’s even some decent German options.

    Our healthcare is a fucking national embarrassment stuck between a government that wants to slowly privatize it and another that wants to ignore it entirely. It’s what Americans point to when they need to show that public healthcare sucks.

      That’s why I mentioned the French breads. Here in Montreal there are more French bakeries than I can shake a stick at and good ones. But they mostly have baguettes, croissants, pain au chocolat/chocolatine, depending on your faction and several variations of miches. We found an Austrian supermarket that partnered with a bakery that specialised in international breads. But they were skimping on salt again and didn’t seem to know bread spice.

        While I’m not into bread culture, the city I live in has quite a few European-style grocery stores that have bread and baking selections more similar to what I’ve seen in Europe. As well as lots of fun snacks like the wall of Haribo and Milka.
