As a percentage of flights, YOW-YUL is cancelled way more often than YOW-YYZ, which is all E190/A320/767.

I'm typing this on the train from YUL to YOW, FWIW ;-)

I have a flight coming up YOW-YUL with a 40 minute connection to an Asia-bound flight. Regretting booking it a bit. Should have went through YYZ.
