Biz Carry-On Allowance
Is the one carry-on size plus one personal item strictly enforced if flying in business class? If it matters, the flight in question is LAX--YYZ on an A321. (Haven't flown much with AC before, so sorry if this is a nube question.)

It's less enforced but varies based on the agents mood. What are you contemplating attempting? I'm going to assume this is a narrow body so is it the one that has barely any space on the left side?

Thank you both for your replies. Yes, it would be one piece that fits the carry-on size requirements, but the second piece would be larger than the personal-item requirements, though able to fit under the seat.

Yeah as long as you get a seat that has a seat in front of it, which has room not taken up by random equipment, you should be fine then.
And apologies you did specify the plane type. So no issues with crazy small bins.
The only time I’ve heard of danger is at check in. If there is someone else who can hold a bag for you to avoid questions ... But to be honest I’ve never had a backpack queried or weighed aside from one FI Y , it’s rollers that tend to be queried.

Two bag limit was being VERY strictly enforced last time I was at LAX, not by AC but by the gatekeeper into the TSA line. She was adamant about it. So I stuffed my briefcase into my garment bag for the two minutes it took to get through Precheck, and voila. When I got to the gate, I asked the AC agent if I would be ok and he said - you'll be fine, you board in zone 1. (Before I get flamed, I know I was being inconsiderate, but I missed the cutoff for checking bags)
