Best post of the day. I would love an FRA departure that provided a little more time for the European connections (so I was not reliant on 6-7am departure to meet a very short connection in FRA).
I would take a 2nd daily FRA flight over possible YYC-MUC flight.

An E90 can't do it, the 320 would likely be weight restricted, best bet is the 319. However in all seriousness. YYT should be lobbying to have EWR as the fortress hub from which multiple daily flights could depart. IF the AC/UA joint venture is rock solid, I would think that 2 daily AC E90 on YYT-EWR would be better than single daily UA and UAX in winter.
