We ended up with an AC Concierge and supervisors from CBSA and airport security huddling for about 10 minutes before saying "you guys all came from Toronto right? ok you're free to go".
By the time we got to the luggage carousel the only bags left were the ones with priority tags.
Still not as bad as AC133 from YYC-YYZ in 2012 when they opened the wrong doors and funneled us back through international.... CBSA was pissed off big time. Half our flight didn't have passports and they were livid. AC didn't even realize their mistake and we still had to go through customs, and then come back in to the domestic luggage. By the time most of us got to our bags it was 90 mins after deplaning. (Already arriving at midnight).
