As usual, the problem is not the actual weather delays. No one wants the pilot to fly if they think it unsafe.
The problem, a perennial one, is Air Canada's response. It's been problematic since forever and it never seems to get better.
Meanwhile airlines such as DL (which I use only because I had some passing familiarity with them) seems to be for forever inventing new soon-to-become-much-less-unorthodox ways of solving problems.
Air Canada's response is typically one or all of the following:
.it's not our fault
.Transport Canada says....
.we've always done it this way
.changing is toooooo haaaarrrrdddd.
