I agree this is getting confusing. It was understood that AA and CP were covered by a separate operating agreement beyond the oneworld one, and that things would remain the same until an unspecified future date. (And of course AC and AA negotiated an u pto 10-year window on phasing out codeshares, reciprocity, etc.) Recent posts suggest AA is accelerating its replacement of CP codeshares with its own metal, so this may portent a more rapid separation. All we can do is stand by and await confirmation, I suppose.

I don't know if this is any help or if you can read an inferrence into it but I'm pleased to share this with you. I did a cut and paste of the info. below from a Canadian bulletin to employees via e-mail. I'll see if I can find out anything specifically about stickers.
AA REMOVES CODE FROM CDN/CRA OPERATED TRANSBORDER FLIGHTS
American Airlines has removed its AA code from CDN and CRA-operated
flights between Canada and the U.S., effective April 15. With the
implementation of our integrated summer schedule, flights are often
operated into a different terminal/location than AA. AA believes
that putting their code on CDN/CRA flights has become too
logistically confusing for AA’s customers. AA, AC and CDN are in
discussions regarding AA’s concerns about these arrangements and the
future of the AA code on our domestic and transborder flights. We’ll
keep you posted as decisions are made. CDN Airport and Call Centre
agents should refer to Sabre for information on reaccommodation of
customers who were booked under the AA code on these flights for
April 15, and beyond.
