CP Air, Wardair, Worldways, Nationair Air Transat and flyglobespan between them served just about every UK regional to YYZ (YHZ for globespan) over the years.
I've always been fascinated about the former Canadian carriers over the years and the amount of regional flights they offered.
Other Canadian airlines that operated from UK regional airports include the likes of Canada 300, Crownair, Oddesey International, Royal Airlines, Sunwing, Zoom.
Although mainly catering to the Canadian home market other Canadian charter airlines from the past include the likes of Air Club International, Ontario Worldways, Pacific Western Airlines, Québecair.
Gatwick in particular used to see various Canadian carriers on the ground at the same time during the early to mid 1980's.
Crownair used to serve Exeter with DC-8-52's but I'm not sure about Oddesey International ever using the airport with their Boeing 757s. I'm sure someone can confirm whether they did or not.
