Um, NO, and it seems AC is even more strict IME.

You will be asked to show your passport prior to barding and again along with your BP as you board. Unless things are done differently at LAX, which I seriously doubt.
The US is not the only country to have pre-cleared entry on foreign soil at the port of exit into the US. So it is not US style; it is just prominent at Canadian Airports.

All US intl departures you must show your photo ID as well as proof of admissibility to the destination. It is not just AC, DL and AA check passport on US to Canada flights as well.
