And yes, lots of announcements about how it works, but little passenger notice or comprehension. Plus the chaos is exacerbated by the totally inadequate space at most YYZ International gates.
Most interesting one I have ever had was AC848 and AC880 at the corner gates, side by side. When agents announce "now it's for zone 1" I had no idea if it's for 848 or 880. A few minutes later one agent was shouting "if you end up on the wrong flight it will be a long walk to your destination".
