Numerous YUL cancellations and delays tonight. Airliners.net post said due to a broken baggage belt.
The post referred to it as a ground stop going on hour #5 (which isn't quite accurate if some flights are taking off and arriving). Several AC cancelled flights cite destination airport limitations.

Seriously contemplating our family trip that will route us YYZ-EU in August.

The reason I saw reported for the recent YUL baggage gum-up was not a broken belt, but broken baggage software requiring a manual process on check-in. Same net result I guess.

I do not know what to do? My ICN to YYZ flight has been getting delayed and delayed for the past month and I have tried to get AC to reroute and they say they are unable to do so. They told me that I have to cancel my return and buy a one way. They also refused to let me manage my booking online.
Now again the ICN to YYZ flight has delayed and `I am going to miss my connection from YYZ. Is AC going to give me overnight stay at YYZ or they could not care about it?

On July 2, our flight 738 Sfo-yyz at 0700 was canceled and we were informed at 10 pm the night before. We were staying at a Sfo hotel so we got out of bed and headed to the air Canada check-in desk. They put us on a new flight scheduled to leave at 2 pm but finally left at 5:30. We had to overnight in Toronto and pay for hotel and taxi (over $500) because there was no staff available at 0100 when we landed. We finally arrived at our final destination (deer lake) over 12 hours late. We filled out the customer relation form. And while I have not received a response, my wife received a $250 e-credit. We received various explanations for why the flight was canceled- Covid scheduling issues, mechanical, staffing etc. but it certainly seems like we are entitled to more than a $250 flight credit.

Why won't they pay for the hotel if it is their problem the flight is delayed? In ICN they told me to speak with AC in YYZ and they cannot guarantee anything at all.

Anyone know what happened with AC897 today? Crew timed out on mechanical delay?

FIN 226 is delayed. Already. And I'm taking it 3 flights from now.

Where is the self-service rebooking tool that some people say they've been able to use?

No, this was for schedule changes in advance. You could try playing with the following URL and seeing if anything comes up, replace PNRPNR with your booking reference, and put your last name in: https://www.aircanada.com /self-reacc/reacc?orderId=PNRPNR&lastName=LASTNAME&language=US
(I don't know how to prevent FT from shortening URLs, so you'll need to remove the space too.

Both bounds say "Your flight 1 has not changed." and there are no options.
It's only a 30 minute posted delay so far, but it's possible this tool was literally only meant for actual schedule changes, and not delays like I'm experiencing. Or 30 minutes just isn't sufficient.
