Where did the CP use this car ? 

From 'Classic Trains'

Four 5 Double Bedroom Lounge Brook series cars were acquired in January 1959 from the New York Central.
 
Two cars each worked Pool Trains 21 and 22 between Montreal and Toronto and Pool Trains 33 and 34 between Ottawa and Toronto. Initially, the Montreal cars operated through to Hamilton with two other sleepers on No. 321, returning on No. 328. Built by Budd in 1949, which company later built The Canadian equipment. All were sold in 1969, this car and another went to the Quebec Cartier Mining Company and one Singing Brook to the Algoma Central as their Canyon View.
 
Note: Singing Brook was a spare car for the 20th Century Limited's Hickory Creek and Sandy Creek.

On the rear of their trains?  LOL

In addition of what was posted, in the summer of 1967 the Atlantic Ltd, had one of these cars assigned.  The Atlantic ran between Montreal and St. John, NB. 

I took a 127 film shot of this car leaving Montreal West at dusk.  It was named Mountain View while on the CP.
