How can I verify if an airline is telling the truth about the reason for the flight's delay, in the context of EU delay compensation?

Accepted answer
Looking at specific departures around the time of your flight, it appears that basically ALL flights around that time left delayed (certainly every one I checked was delayed by a similar amount as your flight), making it very likely that the delay was indeed caused by "ATC".
For much of the second half of August the Vancouver area was being affected by poor visibility caused by smoke from wildfires in the area. This was at times resulting in delays for operations at Vancouver Airport - although I have no proof that smoke was the cause at this particular time.
Unless you have specific knowledge of something otherwise (eg, the pilot made an announcement saying they were doing maintenance on the plane) then I suspect you'll have no chance of proving that this was anything other than an ATC delay.
