By "lounge" I meant the entire transborder area post-security.
Also keep in mind that at pre-clearance airports, USCBP has a lot of say in these timelines... as you've pseudo-entered the United States after clearing security.
US Customs runs the show there. Transborder plane breaks and you want to deplane? Not without approval from US Customs. United wants to bring in a bigger plane than usual to make up for the broken one the day before? Not without approval you're not. Late afternoon transborder flight goes late and customs doesn't want to staff it? Flight is cancelled. I spent years being CC'd on these emails.
I'll rag on YYC till the end of time but a surprising chunk of the transborder issues are not their fault, directly.
