You sure can. Cancel check in once you are through security.

I wonder how long it is before AC 'flags' this type of behaviour, just from reading posts on here it seems like booking flights to access airside/lounge then cancel is becoming increasingly popular.

I could see the day where they state change fees will apply to cancelled tickets once you are airside. They currently can't do this, I asked CATSA when the boarding pass scanning came into security if airlines would now know if passengers were at the airport or not, to prevent holding flights and paging for absent customers. The answer was that airlines couldn't access the system, and it is only there to track time from entering the queue to having your items scanned. HUGE waste of time if you ask me, and a huge missed opportunity.
