So has WestJet cut off American Express access to this (and presumably other) lounges?

(It may be somewhat moot, since Amex Plat also comes with separate Priority Pass benefits.)
Yes it was part of the Amex Platinum lounges. The card include complimentary enrollment in Priority Pass (however you have to call in to request that). Without the priority pass card it includes access to this list of lounges:
https://www.americanexpress.com/ca/e...d/lounges.html

The list includes Executive Lounges by SwissPort in Canada (which covers the ones in Calgary). I think Calgary is the only swissport lounges in Canada.

It does not include WestJet lounges.
