For Toronto it's definitely the 'peameal bacon sandwich'. Being both simple and cheap it sustained a whole generation of blue collar workers. It used to be ubiquitous but has almost been forgotten by the current generation. Toronto used to be a big hog slaughtering town and where the nickname 'Hogtown' comes from. The best authentic peameal bacon sandwich is made by Carousel Bakery at the St. Lawrence Market. I'd recommend horseradish and a good mustard.
Luckily the St. Lawrence Market also features a fabulous purveyor of assorted mustards called Kozlik's. Did you know that Canada is the world's biggest producer of mustard? I didn't till last year.
