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.
True, I've lived in many Canadian cities, and Montreal is second most European city after Quebec city.
