im willing to take the risk as it starts from the UK so if I miss the connection it falls under EU261
EC261 is awesome if your delays is 3h+, not due to a circumstance the airline can claim is extraordinary, and if the UK is still going to enforce is post Brexit which may or may not occur before the OP flies.
Theres also the whole we got you to Canada ... so does your onward issue get covered if not on an EU airline. That’s a grey area too.
Just ensure you aren’t on the last flight of the day and check travel insurance. Is my two cents. EC261 is a nice bonus IF feasible and screwed up.
