From the article:Starting in April, Air Canada plans to add a handful of flights on high-density Boeing 737 MAX 8s. These aircraft were acquired from defunct ultra-low-cost carrier Lynx Air.

From Toronto, the 189-seat aircraft are scheduled on a handful of routes, including to Moncton and Fredericton, New Brunswick; St. Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador; Thunder Bay, Ontario; Quebec; and Kingston, Jamaica. The jets are in an all-economy class configuration, unlike the airline’s typical 737 MAXs, which have 16 business class seats.
Planespotters has added the first 7M8, reg. C-FFIQ / Fin 574 to the Air Canada Express page as opby Air Canada. Air Canada Express

Also, at time of writing, another newbuilds ntu by Lynx, C-FFIS, is enroute from Boeing Field to Windsor.
