If you check 845 today, it took something like 1 hour 23 minutes longer than normal.

AC uses 333 while for this YYC route LH now flies a 343. Longer and no ETOPS issue?

Not entirely convinced that congestion would be an issue. Most flights to Europwe would have been canceled. Flights to destinations further south are relatively few in comparison.
