Shareholder: My guess is that CP will leave Oneworld ASAP. Oneworld doesn't seem to want CP in the first place, but took them as part of AMR. AA will get to keep their code-share and FF with CPlus, so they don't lose out either.

Before everyone here start to predict gloom and doom, raise your hand if you believe an Onex/AMR controlled Air Canada would have treat the consumers differently.

What I find somewhat interesting is the AMR/AC deal lasts for 10 years. Who's to say that AC wouldn't join Oneworld at that time, when their Star Alliance "lock-in" expires. AMR would be wise to keep on the good side of AC, there could be a bigger turkey here in the future.
