This is our favorite reusable shopping bag. Available at home/ garden/ hardware superstore Canadian Tire, the bag is big (16½ h x 14 w x 7" d), strong, and cheap ($0.89)...

The black bag travels with us easily to the grocery store, the library, or errands. Available in both French and English, the ones we picked up in-store in Montreal have the smart statement printed in both: "Ce sac est vert" and "This bag is green". Here it is at Canadian Tire.

Mine were purchased in Alberta and they have both french and english on them.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if in Quebec they only have full french.
They're pretty good bags, wide enough for more than one cereal box which seems to be a common design flaw in the reuseable bag market.
I LOVE THIS BAG! Seriously, it is the best reusable bag ever. I have four of them, and what i love is that they're sturdy and BIG with a wide bottom, but fold up quite small and neat for stacking on a shelf near the door.
My favourite reusable bags are the ones from Shoppers Drug Mart. They have both short and long handles for carrying over the shoulder or by hand, are made of a sturdier material than that recycled pop bottle stuff, and hold a ton of shopping. I bought reusable bags from Safeway and they developed holes after only a few uses.

Haha, the ones they sell in Quebec are only in French!
I have one and I love it :D The perfect size for many groceries, and when not in use, the cat tries to use it as his fort.
Wow. I love them. I live in Minnesota, but I would seriously consider driving all the way up to Ontario to buy that bag. Seriously.
Ooo, it's so very convenient to have relatives who work at CT!
When is Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver going to get its/their own what's the word? Page? Site?... on AT? There are so many great things going on in these cities!
Yay Toronto!
I have one on the floor in front of me.
