Nope, I was on the 3:30.

This says we left at 8:03, but the guy's watch next to me said 8:30 when we actually left the ground.

We didn't get off the plane until close to 9PM.

Even if you believe the flightaware rather than my story, we boarded the plane at 3:15-3:20 and were on the tarmac until 8:03. That's under 5 hours, but barely.

They did decide at the 3.5 hour mark to deplane us, but as soon as our feet hit the ground (down the plane stairs and were heading to some temporary lounge where we didn't have to clear Canadian and re-clear US customs), we were cleared and returned to the plane.

So, you can take 15 min off for that, too.

It was an ATC issue - computer system for flight plans was down.
