Business class seat availability August 3, 2019 from LHR to YYC for 2 people?
I am wondering if someone can take a look at the business class availabilty for August 3, 2019 from LHR to YYC for 2 people. Aeroplan is showing only 1 seat available and nothing for 2 people. I have been watching the calendar and no availability has shown up from Aug 1,2 or 3rd for 2 people at all,yet previous dates they always had something, so I am finding this strange.

Two J tickets TATL can be hard to find on Aeroplan at the best of times and sometimes there appears to be no rhyme or reason to availability on specific dates.
In the past, I too have booked European trips months in advance and have settled for availability of a single J reward seat on my chosen flight(s) and then gambled that another one would come up closer to departure. It's worked out for me but you have stay on it. Expert Flyer could be your friend here by alerting you when more reward space is made available.
SE status generally makes this much easier, but I'm guessing the OP is not in that situation.

And you really think that a replacement AC program would let you redeem for some of the most valuable seats in their network at peak times?

I dumped Aeroplan years ago and switched to Avion, which has served my purposes much better. In some cases I have transferred Avion points to BA Avios at a 50% bonus, and have been reasonably successful in getting F or J seats to/from YVR on BA, but in the last year or two these have mostly dried up in the high season.
I reached the point a few years ago where I really don’t go out of my way to collect points on any FF program.
