Well, in the end, Air Canada did (sort of) get me home from Venice. They re-booked me on United to Washington DC and then WestJet to Calgary, arriving only 24 hours late. Fortunately, I have a few days before I am due back at work. Will be sending a letter to Air Canada, demanding they cover extra expenses and pay the penalty required under European passenger protections.

And United and WestJet, in the spirit of showing that Air Canada isn't the only airline who makes travellers' lives miserable, did their part by chucking my baggage in the ocean, so I could spend another hour reporting that after 20+ hours of travel.
