Yes. From the link I posted above:
Use an Aeroplan credit card.
You'll be able to earn Aeroplan Miles on your everyday purchases including grocery, drugstore and home entertainment.
Don't have a card? Apply today and the Welcome Bonus will also count towards helping you and a loved one reach Air Canada Altitude status at home*.
Earning 250K AE miles in ~40 days is still a challenge but with the possibility of converting Amex MR points to Aeroplan, this because very feasible. Since I am already E75k, the goal for me might be 100k AE miles to get the 4,500 AQM, 20 eUp credits and 1,000 AQD.
