Lufthansa doesn't offer first class
There are no A350s to/from YYZ (although Philippine Airlines indicates it will in 2018)
It doesn't get ANA, JAL, Singapore, Swiss (not enough demand? AC monopoly?)
Perhaps it's a simple explanation.
At least for LX, it's because LX exclusively operates YUL-ZRH, in turn AC operates exclusively on YYZ-ZRH. Not sure if the deal is actually "written" like that, but it's certainly what it feels like.
