Maybe because there aren't many Singaporeans in Toronto to support genuine/authentic Singapore food offerings.
A close friend of mine once migrated to Toronto with his family a few years back - he wanted to give his daughters a more relaxed/non-pressuring educational environment than in Singapore. Held a big farewell party, invited everyone. I remembered giving his wife "The Best of Singapore Cooking" cookbook by Mrs Leong Yee Soo, thinking that they'll miss Singapore food whilst they were there, and may have to cook some on their own.
But, they came back to Singapore permanently a year later - couldn't get used to life in Toronto. Part of their culture shock? They couldn't find good Singapore food there :-D
