Looking at entries, Ruck has scratched the 100m freestyle (replaced with Sanchez), this is not a good sign

As much as I don't want to look too much into that (if she swims relays + 2 backstroke races, that's a lot to begin with and Sanchez has the A standard in the 100m free). It doesn't spark confidence. 

 

In other news it looks like Canada will enter all the Canoe Sprint races with doubling up.

Here is hoping. The Canadian media hyped athletes of new sports/events tend to do bad, lets hope that is not the case here.

Sadly, I think it's too late for her. There's a reason why she lost the Olympic qualifier to Katie Vincent

Agreed, I am extremely pessimistic about her chances, but I hope I am wrong.

I’m more concerned about Mandy Bujold getting eliminated in her first round.

Yes. She’s getting the quota for the K1 500 athlete so she’ll have to compete in Kayak but can compete in the C1 and C2 as well.

SHe has to compete in it. Its pretty obvious if she scratches the Kayak and does the canoe on the same day
