CMM wants moratorium on Publisac
The Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal is asking the feds for a moratorium on Publisac distribution by Canada Post. I saw a tweet that claimed that advertising flyers make up 11% of the material in Montreal’s paper recycling – it’s not mentioned in this article and I will try to chase down a cite.
It isn’t just Valérie Plante. Other nearby mayors are supporting her.

Do people still use them? Most of the supermarkets don’t even print them anymore. I use Reebee. It’s easier to find a discount product… And easier to show at Maxi for a price match. And when you buy 6 to 8 cartons of eggs a week, any discounts help.

To my knowledge they all still get printed, you might not get all of them in your publisac if you don’t have that specific chain in your neighbourhoods or postal code. For example Provigo wouldn’t pay to have their weekly flyer distributed in Laval when there isn’t a single provigo there.
