QF does have landing rights at YYZ and there are A380 capable gates available, so it is not technically impossible. As for the importance of freight, when QF left SFO 15 years ago they kept ownership of a hangar at the airport and ran trucks from LAX to SFO airport with freight (the importance of silicon valley freight). The current SFO service loses money on pax but should be profitable with the freight.
