In fact, Montreal has hundreds of independent bakeries spread all over the city. I'd wager the same could be said for Toronto.
Bt based of my travels to all of the other big cities, I find that indeed, there is a serious lack of non-big-box-store bakeries in Canadian cities.

In the suburban sprawl of Gatineau, there are at least three independent neighbourhood bakeries within a 3-km radius of my house. All of them are owned by immigrants from France BTW.
