Glass bottles break, and then you've got milk all over and broken glass to deal with.

A plastic bag weighs less (cheaper to transport), is less likely to break, and even if it does then there's just the milk and a piece of harmless soft plastic.

Now: the question of "why plastic bags instead of plastic bottles" is most likely because you live in America's Hat, Canada. I really don't know why they made this bizarre choice.
