Has anybody heard when Air Canada / Aeroplan intends to bring these back to life?

(They were supposed to return sometime later in 2021 and I have some Latitude bookings in 2022 I'd like to use them on).
Personally I feel something is up. As you stated there is no mention of Star Alliance Upgrades on their site despite the release that stated it would be returning "later in 2021". There are still people traveling during the pandemic. Due to the slowdown, they most certainly would have had the time/resources to integrate this feature into their new Aeroplan site. So I am skeptical as to whether it will ever return. I have asked their customer service representatives and they have no information to share either. I may contact the head of Aeroplan to try to find out what their plans are.
