"Codeshare Partnerships
Code sharing refers to a practice through which a flight operated by one airline is jointly marketed as a flight by one or more other airlines. Through our codeshare partnerships, we place our designator code (AC) on flights operated by our codeshare partners, which allows us to provide you with worldwide services through an extensive network of convenient flight connections."

From Air Canada's Star Alliance page.... i dont think Mr. Kennedy was seeing the benefits of the grandiose vision yesterday! 
"The vast Star Alliance™ network makes everything faster and easier."
and
"When the Star Alliance™ network was created, our aim was to build an airline alliance which would improve the travel experience of customers for whom flying is a way of life."

It's more of a truce between warring factions.

Well this is interesting.
UA reference is the same.
NH reference is the same.
UA says the AC reference is the same, and it still shows the NRT-SFO-YVR segments, but not the YVR-NRT.
However, I noticed a new "trip" in my AC app. It's the YVR-NRT segment. It has a new booking reference.
I guess all is well now?
I have one ticket with two AC booking references though. Seems weird, but... meh.

You are so lucky that you had this issued by UA and via SFO.
ANA refuses to touch my NH-issued ticket for any kind of changes due to their equipment downgrade.
