Can you buy authentic Latin and Asian ingredients at your typical bog-standard Canadian supermarket that isn't in a major city?

That is the important question.

And sometimes, it's nice to eat out. Cooking can be a chore.

Maybe not the standard supermarket, but they would surely be easy enough to access.

Asian and Latin cuisines are a lot more demanding than your average chicken noodle soup. Dishes such as ají de gallina, kimbap, oyakudon, pastelon, tom yum, ropa vieja, etc, require a lot if ingredients (some which you cant get at a regular supermarket) as well as 2-3 spare hours of your day. It is better to eat out for these purposes

Im sure you would have a hard time finding exotic ingredients even in many major US cities.

Not for a foodie. Towns and smaller cities will still generally have a selection of easy to walk to ethic restaurants .

Those ingredients won't typically be found at a regular supermarket, but even small towns will usually have Asian grocery stores.

I visited Newfoundland & Nova Scotia and thought it was worth visiting

Sadly yes. In NYC you can find almost anything, but in many lesser cities no
