No, it's not. In the past few days, the aircraft that operated AC214 have arrived at YVR from ICN, LHR, and YUL.
That aircraft then carries on to either LHR or FRA, or maybe at some point it will even operate an evening flight to YYZ. Lately the 214 aircraft has mostly gone to LHR, and when I took 848 the other day, the inbound was 849
You can't just look at one day and assume that because the aircraft did SYD-YVR-YYC-FRA that day, that's the regular rotation. There really is no regular rotation.
214 arrives too late to YYC to operate 219 to YVR, unless they create a massive delay to 219. That's the only certainty.

Unlikely.

Not sure I'd say that. In close to 15 years of flying AC pretty frequently, I don't think I had ever seen a widebody scheduled on that route, only IRROPs substitutions.

The
AC timetable or doing dummy bookings through AC or Google Flights would be able to answer that question for any dates that you're interested in.
