The next morning I take myself back to T1 and get the first flight to IAH. Have I visited Canada?
You definitely get credit for the dot (YYZ) and the lines (LHR-YYZ and YYZ-IAH). Beyond that it is a toss-up in my book. You've only shown up there because it was where the connection was, not because you were really "going to Canada." That said, you're performing a tourist event - staying in a hotel - and that is probably enough that I'd count it. You're also clearing immigration and dealing with all that. If you didn't have the overnight I would definitely not count it.

I'm doing a similar itinerary in January, flying NYC-YYZ-MUC and then SZG-FRA-YOW-NYC with the TATL bits on AC just for the lines (and the $300 lower airfare). Indeed, the things we do.
