Air show was seriously underwhelming this year.

It's been many years since I've been, but it used to be a mix of military fast jets, tactical aircraft, SAR, civilian aerobatic, historic, etc. with often international participants other than the US. It seems lately the CAF limits it's participation to the dedicated air show teams (Snowbirds, Skyhawks, CF-18 demo flight) and perhaps the odd rotary unless the air show is at a home base of something else. International participation has a huge cost - I think the CNE was lucky to get the RAF team as part of their NA tour. The cost to get historic aircraft has likely become prohibitive and there are many other air shows around NA that can impact scheduling. The Atlantic air show at CFB Greenwood was on the same weekend.

It would have been cool if the Red Arrows and Snowbirds did a joint flyby. RAF and RCAF’s finest.

The Lancaster from Hamilton will probably be flying past once or twice tomorrow (Saturday August 1). I think it tends to go to Toronto and Niagara Falls (one first, then across the lake to the other).
You should be able to see if/when it's coming on FlightRadar24 as CGVRA.
