Actually, for a while there was one. After 9.11 AC took over a bar a few meters down from its gate and used it for a makeshift MLL during the hours that its flights did the "cross-over" around midnight. Before that, of course, CP operated a very classic albeit small Empress Club hosted over by a lovely matronly Hawaiian woman. Visited it many, many times but my memory cannot retrieve her name...
