AC actually does not have a $9 item on their BOB menu:

Sandwiches are $7 CAD, flatbread pizza is $6 CAD. Not sure what that works out to in USD in your world...
As to the IAH-UK trip poster - if you don't mind the connection at YYZ (which requires clearing Canadian customs/immigration and security again, so make sure you leave enough time), the AC Y experience is going to blow the socks off CO Y - and this is coming from someone who is often accused of injecting CooLAid right into his veins.
Actually, an AC connection for US-UK via YYZ does not require customs/immigration or security, just
a document check by Canada Border Services agency officers.
AC intercontinental Y also offers free alcohol, by the way.
That's extra - tacked on at point of sale. The funny thing is, I didn't notice them charging it on the BoB stuff or the drinks - I'll pay closer attention on the next flight.
Sales Tax in Canada does not have to be added at point of sale, it can be included in the posted price, at the choice of the business. Sales tax is not added to any BOB item at AC. It could be exempt or included in the price.
