OK I have e-mailed Air Canada and I will see if their reply makes any sense, I am expecting a form letter shutting me down. Seems like a good way for them to charge more for shipping "freight". If only WestJet flew to my town.
Here is my e-mail to Air Canada and I will post their reply if I receive one.

I have read that Air Canada no longer accepts pets as checked luggage.
For many years I have brought live aquarium fish and live corals back from Vancouver to Prince Rupert as checked luggage on Air Canada. These fish and corals are kept in waterproof containers inside an insulated shipping box.
I would like to know if I am able to bring an insulated container containing live fish or corals back as checked luggage on Air Canada.
I understand the reasons behind your "no pets" policy, but since live fish and corals require no care during the flight and can survive 48 hours in transit, and temperature is not an issue due to the insulated container, and luggage space is not an issue as the checked container simply replaces one of my normal two pieces of checked luggage, l hope Air Canada will allow these items as checked luggage.
