I believe that the room you got is specifically a service of Turkish to encourage you to connect through Istanbul. There is a general question on this at Does a layover of more than 6 hours entitle me to accommodation by the airline?. The answers there agree that in general, airlines don’t give you free hotel rooms just because you have a layover.
That said, Air Canada does have a program that will give you a free room:
For connections over 6 hours, the Air Canada Stopover option includes one-night hotel accommodation and applicable taxes for one low price. The Canadian break comes at no additional airfare and your hotel is free with a Business Class, Premium Economy or Latitude and for a minimal fee with a Flex or Tango fare.
So in this particular case you are (once again) lucky.
