They stopped doing through flight numbers for a while due to the Amadeus transition, but I flew AC10 YYC-YYZ in late October 2019.
Or perhaps you're thinking of a time the non-stop YYZ-NRT was running? I think when that was on, there wasn't a YYZ-YYC-NRT "direct" flight.

Like I said, I understand where others are coming from
and I will concede that many of the fins were getting up there in age and thus more prone to going mechanical toward the end ... but it wasn't always that way.
Towards the end? I remember 763s being a pain from an MX perspective, including the sink issue, 10 years ago, when they still had quite a bit of life left. Again, my sample size isn't huge, but the problems have been vastly disproportionate.
