We have used this program for the last few years on this same route.
I thought it was well understood that this was a program for international itineraries, but if you want to get really pedantic...

"or" means "union". The set of cities in Canada in a union with the set of cities in the US is a set of all cities in both countries.

The rule says you need a city not in this set. All your cities are in that set. Therefore you are not eligible.

At least that's how I'd read it.

If you say you've been offered this on purely North American itineraries before, then I don't know what to say. I never have been.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada isn't outside (Canada or the US).
