I've only used Air Canada once and that was a flight from Raleigh to Toronto and it was delayed almost four hours. I had a connection on Iceland Air in Toronto to Paris. Fortunately, there was already a five hour layover from Air Canada to Iceland Air. The flight to Paris was held up because the staff at Reykjavík Airport were on strike so everything was being handled (poorly) by management. Baggage transfer, Customs and everything else. So no harm no foul. We made the connection from there to Paris and arrived in Paris on time. Other than that Air Canada did get me to Toronto in time to connect, so they had that layover going for them, eh.
As a footnote, and I hope this isn't normal for Canada, the staff at Toronto International were curt and rude. I asked for directions to Icelandair and I got what sounded like an angry "Just go that way" pointing in a direction to my left. I don't know what was wrong with that lady, but she wasn't giving out any of those famous warm fuzzy's Canadians are famous for. I had the same problem years before taking a train from Toronto to Montreal. Completely unhelpful (the situation is way to extensive and tedious to express here but, I was angry for months after that trip).
