As of July 2022, MLLs appear to be largely back to normal operations.
Ordering to the table has been shut down, with most MLLs offering self-serve buffets similar to what was available pre-COVID.
Note that the EWR MLL has been permanently shut down as a result of changes/construction at EWR.
Showers
YYZ int - closed (Aug 12. They claimed all showers closed at YYZ but I was only at int.)
YVR tb - open
YVR int - open
YUL int - open

Okay, I already thought YYZ TB was undergoing some kind of massive renovation, and this seems to line up with that.
I can appreciate that YYZ TB Express may not have hot food ordering, but YOW and YVR TB still don't support online ordering either.

I've been to YOW five or six times in the last couple of weeks. Sure, now they open that MLL.

It's also possible one site is just ahead of the other. YVR TB certainly looks like it WILL support ordering, but there's nothing on the menu yet.

The photos and descriptions upthread suggest it's a buffet of cold, pre-wrapped food rather than hot food. @Stil, since you've actually been there, can you clarify that?

It was all cold, pre wrapped and self service buffet.
No, hot alternative.

Awesome to hear YVR TB lounge is open. In a couple weeks I'm flying AC LHR>YVR>PDX . The LHR>YVR portion is in C and YVR>PDX is in Y (No C on Flight). Will I be able to use YVR lounge during my layover?

Expanded hours at YUL Dom relative to when I was last here two weeks ago. Wiki updated.
Arrived just after 6, with about 12-15 people in line, and waited about 15 minutes to get in. 3-4 people who were ahead of me in line abandoned before getting in, so probably would have been a bit longer had they stuck around.
The seating out around the entrance looks like it's about what's normally there. Back in the business centre, they've taken away about half the chairs for distancing.
Bottled water available to take from the makeshift bar area as reported at other lounges recently. Also at YYC this morning.

YOW open
Currently in the YOW MLL. It is deserted right now. No hot food. Just wraps, salads, plain chips and cookies. There are two roped off areas one for the bar and one for the food which is in a refrigerated cabinet with glass facing the customers.
Had to get someone’s attention for assistance but being alone meant no waiting.
