AC1971 YHZ-YYC time change?

I got a schedule change notification overnight from AC. I was supposed to fly AC1971 YHZ-YYC on July 3rd, 18:40 departure. The PDF now shows 8:10 departure. Not 18:10 or 8:10PM, but 8:10. Trying to book a flight for that date on ac.com still shows the original 18:40 departure. EF shows 18:40. AC timetable, which only runs through end of May, shows the flight being at 18:30.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? That is a massive change. If it has changed.

(Manage My Bookings on ac.com is a mess, it shows the flight twice, once with the original times, the second time with the new 8:10 departure but still original 21:20 arrival time. So, way to go AC IT )

This matters because we're just going out there for the weekend. Obviously a departure at 18:40 is vastly different from 8:10 and if they have indeed changed it, I want to change ASAP to fly home through YYZ. But if it hasn't actually changed, I want to stay on the direct and save the several hours a YYZ connection adds.

False alarm, apparently. I got another schedule change e-mail PDF showing the time had changed back to the original time. Everything is now back to normal.

Anyone else ever had this happen?

That was the old 184/185 turn (did it myself a few times). 185 would leave YYT around 0600 and hopscotch across the country via YHZ, YYC and if I remember right YVR. Then would turn around and do YYC, YHZ and finally land in YYT around midnight.

But the current YHZ-YYC runs are Rouge.....
