To an "average" Canadian (not meaning any slight to any who disagree), "brown" bread is what USns probably call "whole wheat" bread. (Yes, that's what it says on the bag, but my mom always calls it brown.) Nothing special, not in a can, home made quick bread, just whole wheat bread, whether store bought or not. It is the word used when taking an order in a restaurant: "Do you want that on white or brown bread?"
Now, another oddity: I've noticed we usually spell "mom" the USn way, but you don't usually hear it pronounced that way. I say "mum".
