Besides the fact that those are 1 gallon pouches, the problem with them for me is that they are expensive to buy and then ship to Canada. Amazon.ca gives me access to many things at reasonable cost that would otherwise only be available at unreasonable cost.What about this?

(I really try not to buy everything on Amazon...)
I suggest using full glass bottles is such an easy solution and technically nothing works better.

You folks in the US often don't realize how remarkably cheap your in lower-48 distribution systems are.
There have been several discussions on Photrio about materials for storing chemicals and film. Photographic manufacturers use sophisticated laminates to package their film and chemical products because layers of polyethylene does not provide adequate protection. For home darkroom use (no shipping) the best material for solutions is full glass bottles. They are readily available, easily cleaned, impervious to air, etc. Other materials like cubitainers, bag-in-a-box, wine pouches etc. might work. But are difficult to thoroughly clean and it is uncertain which ones will work and which will not. Glass is so much simpler.
Kodak used Cubitainers for concentrates. However, the cubes used for oxidation sensitive concentrates were not ordinary cubes. They were coated with another material that served as an oxygen barrier.

For some, that would work well.I thought the gallon size would be handy for, you know, like a gallon of D76 or so?
One shot and squeeze air out after use?

For me, a one gallon container that you need to pour from would be awkward to store and handle.
Won't ship to or unavailable in Canada5L bags that come with boxes! With handles!

Full glass bottles only work when they are full.
The old Kodak Cubitainers with the screw cap dispenser unit are great to use if you have the shelf space to set them up. The one thing I like about them is they collapse as you use up the contents. I used to put them into a warming bath to bring the chemistry up to temperature for C41 and E6. I have used these cubitainers since the late eighties and they are still in good condition.The old cubitainers, which you could put on a high shelf and then dispense from using a faucet spout were great for anyone with an appropriate shelf, but I don't have one of those.
Red wine keeps better in bladders than bottles. They’re great for people that don’t drink wine often. The ones that I get with my boxed wines I could remove the tap and rinse it out with hot water. So far I have not discovered that any residual wine affects photo chemistry.
