Air Canada doesn't have a First Class, just "Executive First" which is a business class, so you pay business class points. Some of the other star alliance airlines have economy, business, and first class, like United and Lufthansa. If you're going to Hawaii, none of the airlines offer 3 class service from North America, so there is absolutely no difference.
If you're using your aeroplan points, it might be worth flying united or US Air through the US. The extra cost for taxes and fees will be much less, and you can probably get a one stop flight anyway.
PS Air Canada only flies their old business class to HNL, so you wouldn't get the pods anyway, just a bit of extra legroom, so probably not worth it.
