The issue is you have to work at it a little bit. Not everyone here wants too. They would rather have a city-subsidized "food bus" park outside their front door.

Compared to when I lived in the US, the biggest differences I found price-wise was with milk more than produce (it is just so heavily subsidized in the US), and quality-wise the meat products were much worse in the US than in Canada.
I also found that the store-brands for Sobey's and Loblaw's are much much better than the equivalent store brands at places like Albertson's and Smiths.
In general I actually think we have it pretty good here in Halifax.
