From the article, Canada is doing this voluntarily.
All this means is that people who try to avoid baggage claim by bringing those medium-sized carry-on overnight bags on board will have to check them and pay the new checked baggage charges like the rest of us.
I've seen people wheeling their overnight bag, a computer bag, a large coat, and a shopping bag, stuffing them in any overhead bin they please. Two carry-on items, nitwits.
Flying, even short distances, is time consuming. Plan accordingly, pack accordingly and you'll be fine.
On a side note -- for those of you who never have to fly through LAX, you really don't know what a mismanaged airport and total inconvenience is. It is by far the worst run airport in the country.
What it means, is that it's going to take 6 hours to board a flight rather than 3. Not to mention take more money out of people's pockets with baggage charges. And the lost luggage? OMG! That's going to be a nightmare.
