What happened to Globe and Mail newspapers in domestic MLL (and perhaps flights)?

Went to YVR Domestic MLL yesterday around 8:45 am.
Two mini-stacks (of 10 papers each) of G and M.
Seven big stacks (at least 20 papers each) of Vancouver Sun.
No NP - due to it being Monday.
Flew on 9:30 am flight from YVR to YUL
Sitting in 1A. Flight Attendant brought only 2 G and M - I did not need one of course - but I wonder there were additional G and M in a stack somewhere in the galley.
Arrived YUL domestic lounge yesterday at 5:15 pm - no G and M.
Arrived YOW MLL yesterday at about 8 pm - no G and M.

I am interested in the availability of G and M in other lounges outside of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver?
PS-does the YYZ SIgnature lounge ever run out of the G and M?
PPS- the analogy - the Plaza Premium lounges never seem to run out of Toronto Star newspapers.
At one time, they used to carry G and M as well; but they no longer do so.

YYC MLL rarely has G&M after the morning - it's frustrating, huge stack of the other papers (NP and Herald). Perhaps there should be rejigging of the order amounts. I tend to find YEG is a little better. On the flight to YYZ there were a bunch of G&Ms though.

Maybe a better plan is to simply send all the newspapers directly to our homes. At least for SEs.
That way we will have something to read while we are on 'priority' hold with AC.
