Thx.
In my case, I seem to remember the extreme edge cases being worthwhile - such as the smaller airlines flying to the North. Since I believe Air Miles is still a revenue bucket, it sometimes has slightly better access than Aeroplan - and since tickets are >$2K if bought with cash (despite the short distance) they’re usually a great value. Of course, you need to actually want to go there...
