I know *I* need to go through immigration and customs, but does the checked bag?

All one EK ticket, with the final flight being a Westjet-operated codeshare.

I've done googling and can't find a definitive answer. Most answers address int'l-to-domestic, which I've done 100+ times and you obviously *do* retrieve your bag and carry it through customs before handing it back to the airline on the other side.
This article on OMAAT may be of some assistance. You will have to transfer from Terminal E to Terminal A and according to the article, you would have to clear immigration and customs with your baggage but not sure how up to date the article is.

Hope me this is of some help.
