Paper bags for booze will no longer be available at Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) locations as of Sept. 5.

"Customers are encouraged to bring their own reusable bag when shopping in-store, and alternatively, may purchase a reusable bag," the Crown corporation said in a news release Tuesday.

The LCBO said the move would save the equivalent of 188,000 trees each year and divert some 2,665 tonnes of waste from landfills.

Boxes and eight-pack carriers for cans and small bottles will still be available for free, the release noted.

If you can see this post, it hasn’t happened to you yet. But soon you won’t be able to see news content on Instagram or Facebook in Canada.

Meta has been signalling this move was coming after the Canadian government passed its Online News Act, Bill C-18, in June.

The social media giant says it has officially begun ending news availability on its platforms in Canada starting today.

Bill C-18 requires big tech giants like Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news content they share or otherwise repurpose on their platforms.

"In order to provide clarity to the millions of Canadians and businesses who use our platforms, we are announcing today that we have begun the process of ending news availability permanently in Canada," Rachel Curran, Meta's head of public policy in Canada, said in a statement.

Implementing the changes on the company's platforms is expected to take a few weeks.
