Air Canada has been making moves to get closer to its alliance partners but in the meantime, it isn't too bad. We get to use TWA Ambassador's Clubs, Continental President's Clubs and others that quite often aren't as noisy and crowded (and you sometimes get free drinks) as United's. I may be in no rush to move. In Europe I have used Air France's Salon L'Espace (also not a partner in any sense any more).
