I searched for a recent generic thread where we can collect information, numerical data and announcements from Air Canada on the issue of VDB, IDB and Compensation. Perhaps we could make this a FAQ, add a wiki, etc.
Given the events of this past week on other airlines, AC FT should have a central resource.
Perhaps the AC FT Collective can decide how to format this thread, which of the older threads to delete and so on.
I did find these threads so I'll include them as reference as they are not recent.

Does AC give cash for giving up seat on oversold flights? Will it raise VDB amounts?
