For comparison, it is useful to look at the type of commercial tenants that are in the ground floors of other residential buildings elsewhere in the Region.  Around Northdale, it has generally been restaurants and personal services (eg lots of hair places) but not much else.  I haven't seen any 'convenience' style stores that might carry pantry basics (eg milk).

This is generally the case in northern Europe as well: personal services, bars, restaurants etc dominate the retail spaces in residential buildings.

In Japan, of course, every second mixed-use building will have a convenience store.
