Yes, it always shows this.

Because a 5 minute delay turns into a 10 minute delay turns into a 15 minute delay turns into a 20 minute delay, and 45 minutes later they decide to pull the bags.
Air Canada needs to make up their goddamn mind. If it's 5 minutes, fine. But if the goal posts keep changing then that's wrong.
How often is the problem connecting pax, who have no control whatsoever about when the first inbound flight of the day lands at Pearson?
I'm consistently on the first outbound flight of the day. There is no concern for inbound flights. Just a bunch of idiotic passengers who value their own sleep versus everyone else's on the plane - and usually they have no status and are at best cattle ready for slaughter at the back of the plane.

No, I won't, because I take responsibility for my actions. If you have no status, and are flying Y, and don't have NEXUS, get to the airport 4 hours early. It's not that hard. I do see the NEXUS lanes these days are getting longer and longer, but I surely don't have a problem with the priority/business class lane. If I didn't have access to that or NEXUS, I would certainly follow Air Canada's guidance of showing up at least 3 hours early. If I didn't and miss my flight, that's on me.
Take off without me. I would expect AC to do that.
