Historically, Canadian Airlines and its predecessors were strong in Western Canada and the Far East, while Air Canada dominated the more populous provinces of Ontario and Quebec, plus most of the air routes to Europe.
Canadian Airlines reduced services to and within Western Canada, a move that contributed to its eventual demise by encouraging new entrants in that important and growing market.
Canadian law limits foreign ownership in the country’s airline industry, and since American Airlines already held the maximum percentage of stock allowed, their joint bid with Onex could not proceed.

 languagehat.com: CANADIAN GEESE.
Every once in a while the question "Canada goose or Canadian goose?" is used as yet another pedantic shibboleth, and I am pleased to find a birding page by Lisa Shea that addresses the issue with good sense and as scientific an attitude as any linguist could ask:
The vast majority of English speaking people call the goose that is large and has a fl head—Branta canadensis—a Canadian Goose.
The name of the Goose IS the "Canada Goose" and not just a Goose from Canada - the plural of Goose is Geese, so more than one Canada Goose are Canada Geese - you generally never pluralize (or change the tense of) the describing adjectives when they are all part of the noun itself.
