If, let's say, the carrier was Air Canada and it was something like YOW-PHX-YVR, then it wouldn't be cabotage, but AC doesn't offer domestic flights with a US connection because it isn't in their, nor their passengers' best interests (mileage runs aside ).

If I'm wrong on this, please educate me.
If you buy a YYZ-WAS-YYZ trip that's not cabotage that's a round trip. Here the OP's buying YOW-DCA-YVR, which is an open jaw. That's legal as it's 2 piecees of one-way fares. If the airline offedred YOW-DCA-YVR as a single fare it would be illegal.
