Looks like the 3rd wipe in that one kit was a fluke, all 3 since then have had 2 wipes and no gloves, so looks like the gloves were just eliminated with no offsetting benefit.
Given that most people I saw seemed to either not use them or wear them the whole flight, touching their faces, food, etc, it probably doesn't make much of a difference.
Earphones came in a clear package at YOW this morning, but still the white one at YYZ.

I’m flying today SFO-YVR-YYZ. SFO flight had a clear bottle. YVR is blue.
But the ingredients now say ‘natural spring water ozonated’. Before it used to just say ‘water’

AC continues its commitment to deep-cleaning aircraft overnight, and providing the highest-quality levels of service in its premium cabin.
Got to my seat this morning and found someone else's dirty socks from the night before.
Are you KIDDING ME.

I cried laughing seeing that. No joke, because I do that to my DW's ultimate displeasure IN MY OWN HOME. Long story, but I like to be barefoot, so I take my socks off whenever I don't have to be in shoes/boots outside.
Maybe they are like my cleaner. They don't won't move anything for fear that it might be important.
Please tell me that you shared that pic with AC corporate.

No real changes to the kits in the past couple of weeks. The black plastic packaged earphones that they used to hand out in J have showed up a couple of times, but it's almost always the white package.
Until today, when the AC-branded water bottle is now 250 mL, up from 200 mL previously. This is at YUL. Will see what's on offer out of YVR later today.

Sorry, the old bottle style is 240 mL, not 200. Weird, the bigger one seemed quite a bit bigger than just a 10 mL difference.
Either way, the kit at YVR still has the old size.

Carry-on baggage: touchless verification and enforcement
In order to facilitate the boarding process and limit the need for physical interactions at the departure gate and on board, all customers will be required to comply with verification measures pre-security, or at the gate.
New technologies will be introduced at select airports* to automatically size and measure carry-on baggage for compliance, making the carry-on baggage policy verification process touchless.
*In the following cities: Toronto (Pearson), Montreal, and Ottawa.

It seems like checking-in with an agent is no longer an option, according to these links. Can anyone confirm?

Just noticed this tidbit in the Updated Travel Guidelines - anyone experience this technology yet?

As noted above, AC CleanCare+ bag has a white seal.
It contained:
250ml bottle of water
white mask
20 ml bottle of Bacti Control hand sanitizer
package of Biscoff cookies
package of ear buds
2 single-use packages of Powerclean antiseptic wipe
a card with a message from AC's chief medical officer and VP Safety
Yes, I know the IFE showed we were going to HND.
The plastic bag contained a pillow, duvet and mattress pad/seat cover (hoodie version)

Nice to see the tasty Biscoff cookies replacing the pedestrian pretzels.
That sticker has been there for months. Since sometime in September, I think.
250 mL or 240 mL? I had a 250 mL once, but that was only one of ~70 kits since they started handing them out.
