          “Within the airline’s control” is pretty clearly outlined in the law. It’s not a grey area.

          The law also states that the new booking must be reasonable. And before you say that “reasonable” is grey, it gives examples of that. Missing the connecting flight would be unreasonable. So would missing the purpose of the trip. A refund would be pretty easy to ask for in this circumstance.

      Their policy was that if the new arrival time is within 3 hours of the old one, it is not their problem.

      I can see them now: “So, if we change OP’s flight to the one we intend to put them on, according to company policy, we’re liable. But if we do it incrementally, in multiple installments but changing it by less than three hours each time, we’re fine!”

      I try everything I can to not fly Air Canada or West Jet. To get from Nanaimo to Kelowna recently, I caught a float plane from Nanaimo to Vancouver and then flew Air North from Vancouver to Kelowna. It actually cost lest than any flights I could find from the other two.
