Due to the events of today (Canadian Airlines announced it is cancelling its Canadian Plus FF program and members will be transferred into Air Canada's Aeroplan program effective January 1st, 2001), Randy has announced plans to merge the Cdn forum with that of AC on August 1st. This will be hard for many of us up here to accept, a bit like losing a loved one, but it appears we are all in agreement it should be done.

I am, therefore, proposing that we include a small wake in the FAQ schedule (on Sunday), so we Cdn+ and Aeroplan members can join hands and toast to the future, while celebrating the past (and the great days of Cdn+ and the multitude of bonuses each gave us as the two carriers fought it out for our business). I believe both Blondebomber and Andrew Webber are coming to Montreal (Aeroplan devotées both) and Ken HAAmer and I will be there to represent Cdn+. Any other members of these two programs are invited to join us at this event, as are our friends from STAR and oneworld partner programs, and others (SkyMiles, Worldperks, Aviator, etc.)
