<p>MONTREAL – Air travellers flying into Montreal can now watch Canuck film clips while waiting for customs clearance and their luggage.</p> <p>The National Film Board of Canada and Aeroports de Montreal have joined forces to show NFB photographs, films and animated works at Montreal-Trudeau Airport.</p> <p>The initiative, which is part of the Montreal Identity program (a.k.a.
