On certain days, there’s a 17:40 YYZ-ORD on UA with two different connection opportunities continuing to MCI. All are operated with two class equipment so if you can get booked into F there, you’ll have access to the Transborder MLL* in YYZ and I believe also to the UC in ORD. (Unfortunately, ORD PL is off limits as intl long haul is not on UA.)
Some ET seats in J are angle flat - not sure about your flight. If at all possible, I would try and angle for a rebooking onto UA equipment with true flat into ORD via AMS/BRU/CDG/FRA/LHR/MUC. If you can finagle that, then you gain access to the PL lounge in ORD because you’re arriving on UA. The PL is world class. EWR/IAD gateways may offer additional opportunities.
*The Transborder MLL is not exceptional but of course beats mingling with all the tourists on the concourse.
