And of course, their current position presumes the cancellations were beyond their control, which they haven't proven - in my case, Delta continued operating the route that Air Canada suspended (DTW-YYZ) throughout the pandemic.

Not only that what really boggle the mind is how government restrictions prevent a particular AC LGA-YYZ flight from being operated (thus no refund) but magically does not affect other AC flights between the same city pairs on the very same day.
