The last few flights I took with them it was just like an AC flight.
From my four recent flights in Air Canada domestic J (A220, Max and CRJ-900) I don't think there is any distinction to be drawn experience wise. My last meal in Air Canada J was the same chicken entree you would have been served in economy on any airline on earth in 1988, the cabin crew was something between cranky and indifferent. The IFE at my seat on the A220 was broken, the power at my seat on one of the Maxes was also broken.
I just shrug. If the schedule works, the schedule works. I don't really fly any one airline enough to accrue much status with any one airline but my girlfriend who often hits gold finds it quite useless because of the confines of her travel policy.
