TC Transcontinental (TSX: TCL.A TCL.B), owner of the Publisac, reacts today to the City of Montreal’s announcement of its intention to implement an opt-in system for the distribution of flyers beginning in May 2023, that would lead to the end of the distribution of the Publisac on its territory.

We intend to assert our rights and those of our customers if necessary.”

You might be surprised to learn that most people waste a lot of energy and resources in the first few hours they are awake.
