Can you have more than one SE100K in the bank?
In other words, if you hit the 250K threshold two years in a row, are you guaranteed two years of “free” SE afterwards?

Yes, the intention is to allow banking every year you hit 250K AQM, until you no longer qualify for SE.

Two posts says do not accrue to MM program. Is that inferred from the earned
/ promotional rule?

I am not completely sure that I understand your question. Are you asking if I assumed that the roll over miles don't accrue to the MM program? If so, no, it was not an assumption.

Asking whether it’s written down anywhere that they are not, or an inference based on they are ‘promotional’ or not ‘earned’. Am likely not looking in the correct spot for rules.

"Fly more than one million Lifetime Altitude Qualifying Miles on eligible flights operated by Air Canada and you'll become part of this distinguished group. AQMs which are eligible for this program are those earned on flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge and its regional affiliates (such as Air Canada Express) since 1988.
Additionally, AQMs earned as a bonus for purchasing Business Class fares, or in conjunction with the purchase of an Air Canada Unlimited Flight Pass, will count towards this program. Note that all other AQMs, including those earned for travel operated by the Star Alliance member airlines, do not qualify."
To be sure, I consulted with the Customer Loyalty Manager prior to posting my reply.

Yup, that’s why I say inferred. That language quoted was before the new threshold rollover AQMs but the inference is reasonable and you confirmed with someone from AC which was my question, albeit seemingly opaque. Thx.

Do subway stamps count towards MM status? Should I seek clarification? Or do I need to make a dangerous inference that, not being listed, they do not count. Additionally, what is the stamp to mile conversion ratio?

Oh, how witty.
They are AQMs that are only AQMs for certain things.

This is what AC says in their MM program. Bolding is mine.

Dare I ask about double AQMs on the comfort fares. They are ‘earned’ on flights. But I suspect fall into the ‘all other don’t count’. ??

This is fun. Due to CO fares and EYW, I'm on track to hit 215k this year. I guess I'll need a SFO-Asia via YYZ in paid J to get my banked SE status.
The 40k rollover AQM will be nice too.
