That kind of airline would probably have to be majority owned by Canadians, not Delta. Passengers would also have to go through customs twice (4 times for a round trip). There might (?) be regulations preventing it if ticketed on the same ticket.....Maybe look up schedules to see if there are flights which could connect, like YYZ-ORD-YVR.

EDIT: Looked up DL schedules. They say no flight but, looking at the schedule, you can piece together such a flight.

Example: Winnepeg - MSP - Toronto
YWG arrives in MSP at 1025 am, next flight to YYZ is 1:42 pm.
YWG arrives in MSP at 613 pm, next flight to YYZ is 735 pm.
