I haven't looked at the schedule, so you may be right, assuming the delay occurs very close to the time of your flight. But if a delay is posted in advance, it may be possible to re-route you early enough to get one of those other AC flights. There are also quite a few flights between ORD and YYZ, so if you're at the airport early enough, they may be able to just put you on an earlier ORD-YYZ and keep your original flight to NRT. Just stay vigilant and keep an eye on your options.
