If you walk past what is now the Canada Revenue Building on Front Street in Toronto and look up over the doorways, you'll see some of these wonderful beavers carved out of stone. I managed to pick a large carved wooden version of the ironic CP beaver many years ago and have it hanging in my office.

AC should market a pilot's jacket (bomber jacket) using the original logos to celebrate its 70th anniversary. Such classic memorobilia would certainly be snapped up by retirees of both airlines, current employees and lots of us.
