So by "advertising" them here, everyone here was also breaking the T&C's? How is that more wrong than buying/selling MLL certificates?

If AP considered their "loss" or whatever damage they suffered was unacceptable, they should have personalized these MLL certs as they have with the u/g certs. Because AP did not personalize them, AP must have contemplated the gifting of these certs to their friends and relatives (as Shareholder has done) and/or the loss is too immaterial. The only "loss" I see for AP is the $10 or $20 of foregone revenue it would have gotten had a legitimate non-Elite/SE member wanted a one-time use of the MLL.
Both the 2006 and 2007 MLL passes state "this certificate cannot be sold, is not replaceable if lost or stolen and is not redeemable for cash or other consideration." This is different than the "non-transferable" clause that appears on the U/G certs.
However, AC/AP fully contemplated the MLL certs being given away, in fact, that is the point of them according to the AP website.

"Share a little bit of the Air Canada Super Elite experience and offer a family member, friend or colleague the comfort of Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounge." There is absolutely nothing wrong with people on this forum gifting passes to others. In fact, if my remaining 2006 guest pass wasn't spoken for I'd offer it to someone here!
