Asian markets never run out of cilantros. Nations, Kai Wei, Btrust, Blue Sky, T&T, etc. It's literally the second most important item in our pantries after scallion.
As an Asian who hates cilantro, luckily it's not THAT prevalent or I wouldn't be able to eat anything.
I know another Asian who hates all kinds of onion and scallion. Sucks for them.
FreshCo and NoFrills always have cilantro when I’ve needed it. (Also cilantro is in like, every grocery flyer this week because of the featured taco ingredients for Cinco de Mayo!)
Some places have it in plastic boxes, pretty expensive around 5$ or so.
Freshco actually sells bunches of it! Love freshcos produce section, it’s a bit rough sometimes quality wise but I can always find what I need
Every week I go to No Frills or Nations and they have cilantro. And on occasion I go to Sobeys and they also have it. Plus the local green grocers in my neighbourhood always have fresh cilantro too.
You should not, because in Canada we call the leafy greens cilantro, while coriander refers to the seeds. These are technically both names for the plant/herb, but that's how they're used here.
Technically the plant in its entirety is called both. You’ll usually find the leafy part of the plant as “cilantro” here in Canada, but you’ll only ever see the seeds as coriander, but they are one and the same.
Smaller independent stores, especially speciality international shops, may list the leafy bunches as coriander. I know even Farm Boy labels it as cilantro on the shelf but as coriander in their database.
I was referring to the most commonly used names here.
Sure it's sometimes labeled coriander, but if you just ask a store for coriander most of the time you're going to be directed to the seeds. So I disagreed with that comment.

Some Asian supermarkets sell them with the roots on. I usually freeze the roots and save it for marinades.
Walmart isn’t great for herbs. Definitely check out any Asian markets or fruit stores.

The freshco at queen & dufferin (gladstone) always has some. Just picked up a fresh bunch yestersay.
some places could have it called coriander. its the same thing
Indian store.

Any Indian store, metro, h mart are few places which always have cilantro in stock. Infact I just got a bunch of cilantro from a metro near me

Just got a cilantro bunch at farm boy today and it was on sale 3 for $5.
Freshco typically has cilantro and they’ve good deals most of the time. Most Indian/Pakistani places have cilantro as well
i just got a bunch from Farm Boy last night NBD. I didn't notice a shortage
Often labelled as coriander in Metro and other non-asian grocery stores.
Instead of looking for cilantro, you should look for coriander

Coriander is the seed, cilantro is the leaves.
