Ezekiel. It comes frozen and has a very short expiry date.

Re: Good Bread in Canada???
I asked a friend-of-a-friend who lives in Chateuguay. Your best bet if you're on or near the Kahnawake res is to head to Mercier, 894 blvd St-Jean-Baptiste (the main drag through the village) to find https://www.boulangeriedjmartinez.com/ - apparently excellent bread and superb cakes and pastries as an added bonus. It's only a couple of km south of the reservation.

Yep, good bread is hard to find. Generally waaaayyyy too sweet for our tastes. We now have a Panasonic bread maker - problem solved!

Cobs Bread is the best, get either the White Loaf or the Higher Fibre White Loaf - the higher fibre one makes excellent toast too. It's not sickly sweet like supermarket bread, and they will even cut it into regular slices for you in the store.

This farm bread is nice:

Eating it regularly has to set some kind of benchmark for conspicuous consumption.

Like magnumpi and dbd I am both an Ace and a Sobeys bread buyer. In packages I do find Dempsters 12 grain loaves edible and the Superstore does have “European Style whole grain Bread” which isn’t bad.

Re: Good Bread in Canada???
Perhaps I'm assimilated, or perhaps I'm fortunate in my choice of bakers but I don't find sourcing "decent" bread to be a problem here. Daily Bread comes from a local bakery who do a passable 90% wholewheat bread that isn't too sweet. $2.50 a loaf from the bakery or, $3 from the local Sobeys which is more convenient what doing the grocery shop. Sobeys and Dominion (Loblaws. ACE) in store bakery stuff is acceptable. Local grocery chain colemans does decent bread but for softest white bread as a treat Dough By's bakery is the place to go. If I head into the metropolis of St John's, Artisanal and Hipster bread (which I suppose is the same thing) can readily be found. The most hipster of bakeries does rather frown on selling bread to people who don't live in the immediate neighbourhood, but they will hold their nose and do it if you persist.
