But when I search around I found SFO-YYZ-LEJ RT only cost $1100 (L class). Can I forfeit my SFO-YYZ segments and just board at YYZ outbound and land at YYZ inbound? Both fares were found on aircanada.com.

Otherwise, I'll have to go through the US to get to Leipzig to get a similar airfare.

Help appreciated on this dilemma.

Short answer, no. If you miss the first leg of your itinerary, your whole ticket is void. If you miss the last leg you can get away with it, if you manage to short check your bags to your intended final stop.
