Several things.... first 11/29 is 8502' long (not 8000') and 16/34 is 7005' long. Second, a METAR reports wind in degrees true, while runways are in degrees magnetic (at least in the Southen Domestic Airspace in Canada. With an 18deg West magnetic declination, the wind at 21z would likely be reported as 330 22G35KT.
Based on this info, there is no reasonable reason to expect 11/29 to be cleared first. 7000' is more than enough for the regular scheduled types unless the CRFI was really bad, but even then likely the crosswind component would be too high.
