YQ free TATL options for Canada drying up - No new LX or TP availability

Been watching Aeroplan availability on YUL-ZRH on LX and YYZ-LIS on TP in both directions for awhile as these were the only seemingly reliable trans-Atlantic routes with no YQ charge. (Yes SN and TK are low YQ but their availability has been very rare for awhile). I've noticed over the past few weeks that these LX & TP routes now also appear to be getting reduced or removed.
LX has been generally releasing space 300 days in advance - this can be seen for various USA routes like JFK and ORD that as of today have departures up to June 30, 2020. The Canadian route YUL-ZRH has been stuck with May 27, 2020 as the furthest future date for some time and ZRH-YUL hasn't moved past June 25, 2020 after stopping adding new dates last week.
TP from US cities has dates into late July 2020 in both directions and releases seats daily 330 days in advance. But YYZ-LIS hasn't had anything past the start of June 2020 and LIS-YYZ has been stuck on July 9, 2020 and nothing released in weeks.
Perhaps route changes are coming, or it's just an odd glitch but for anyone preferring to avoid a US routing and extra legs it's challenging and perhaps not a great sign of things to come.
