Thanks for linking to this. Would likely have missed it otherwise.

I wouldn’t’ve known if I hadn’t seen the Radio-Canada piece. I used to make a special trip to get their bread sometimes when I lived in the Plateau. But I swore off bread awhile back, then moved, so hadn’t visited in some time.

I helped fund their move from their tiny tiny original location to their present digs. You paid $100 and then used the card they gave you to buy bread at the new location until the $100 was used up. Early version of crowdfunding!
Then the original owner sold it and moved to Sutton, for the quality cycling to be found there.
I heard a rumour that other merchants did not like the fact he was paying his workers a living wage, instead of minimum wage all the time to maximize owner profit.
