It depends on the market base. There are, I think at most, 100,000 Chinese in Montreal but the population of immigrant Chinese is more than 300,000 in Toronto. Few people means higher operating cost for the supermarket.
In addition, Toronto is a diverse society and it tolerates multi-culture much more than the Canucks do, which means few French Canadian will shop in Chinese supermarket.
The major problem is the language law. In Quebec you must use French as the official language for documents, records and product labels. Although it is not strictly enforced in Montreal, it constitues a big business risk for an investment like a T & T supermarket.
