This will be a very long day for me as I'll have another 8 hours of journey left upon arrival to Toronto so getting some daylight is quite essential to soften the jetlag. If there's a very high chance that the cabin will be forced dark, I'll look into rebooking on some other metal.
Thank you

The windows will be dimmed, but you can open them if you want, but you must have a window seat. Came home from Athens yesterday, and my window was open for the whole flight to YYZ.
