Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec seems positioning itself as a major player in Canada's airline merger battle. The powerful money manager said it bought on Sep 10, 1999, 909,450 common shares of Air Canada at C$10.89 apiece. The acquisition could be part of a two-day trading frenzy in which the caisse could have boosted its stake in the airline to 5.6% for as much as C$80 million. Air Canada is the target of a hostile takeover bid by Onex Corp.
