I will never understand how Canada, a nation founded by European immigrants has such awful and expensive bread, cheese, and beer.
Government ruined it.
I posit it was great back around 1850 -1920 or so. Then the dairy mafia happened, price fixing happened (look up the Loblaw supermarket bread price collusion/fixing scandal ), breweries were bought out by faceless macro brew goliaths like Anhauser Busch etc, add a sprinkle of socialism, bam. Shitty bread, cheese and beer, unless you seek out imports from England or France.
Alas. Those are very expensive. There is some decent bread if you are willing to dig, but the macro brands are mostly crap. Decent croissants made with actual butter? Hah! Peasant you will eat sad dough with hydrogenated rapeseed oil and like it!
