My understanding that the lion share of traffic into YYT for the now delayed \ cancelled \ whatever Exxon project was from the west coming east, rather than eastward from YYT. This project's delay would have minimal, if any effect on the LHR run. Perhaps there is someone familar with the oil patch who can weigh in.
As for the A320 service, as a consumer a plane is a plane is a plane (watch the purists wince), but it's hard to say that to someone shipping goods in and out - from what I hear the A320 simply doesn't have enough cargo space...
