Right, but I don't think many on *A straight from Europe - there are options via US cities but doing immigration / customs at an intermediate points is extremely annoying.

I don't know much about the Scandinavian - Canada market so I won't comment passenger numbers wise - but Toronto is still missing direct service flights to other major cities such Berlin, Barcelona, Manchester etc. so city size alone doesn't necessarily mean demand is there.

I definitely agree with that
but you have many other options such as via DUS (soon) MUC ZRH etc.
