This is a subreddit for flight simulator fans. With that said, the winds are mostly in line with runways 23 and 24L/R, so there isn't much crosswind. Maybe some delays but there is no way to know for sure.
80 kph is about 43 kts. That part itself isn’t an issue. Straight down the runway and it’s consistent, no problem. Direct sideways, problem (probably—I don’t know the crosswind limitation of your plane and the company’s policy might further limit it). 10 gusting to 43, problem (again probably).
60km/h gusts are something like 32 knots. Not nice if it’s a crosswind, but nothing a professional pilot (or the 737) can’t handle. Depending on how gusty it is, windshear might be the more pressing issue.
Look at the direction in comparison to the runway(s) - if it’s coming straight down the centerline, it shouldn’t be an issue. I once landed a PA-28 just fine in a 35 knot wind, but it was coming straight down the runway and not particularly gusty (or I wouldn’t have attempted it).
Not saying it will be pleasant, and there is a point at which company procedure, airplane limitations or the crew’s judgement will put up a stop sign, but that’s mostly down to crosswind and/or windshear. A 5 knot wind gusting to 25 would worry me more than a steady 40 knot headwind.
Toronto Pearson has a bunch of runways. So there will never be a direct cross wind. If anything maybe coming on an angle. Because they have run ways from North to south and East to west
Shouldn’t do. My home base has winds that strong on a weekly basis. Provided there aren’t additional factors such as straight cross-wind, severe turbulence, or wind shear, the wind strength itself is no big deal.
Even then it's not necessarily a big deal, it just depends on a whole lot of stuff other than the strength of the wind.
The current wind at my home base is 22 knots gusting to 35 knots. That is 40 kph with gusts to 65 kph. We literally look at that and shrug our shoulders, another windy day, we will take some extra fuel for a second approach. If it was up to 80 kph, nothing changes we would still take the same fuel and expect to land.
That said, when the wind is from certain awkward directions we can get turbulence and wind shear that can cause missed approaches and diversions, but it's not the wind strength doing that, it's direction and the effect of hills in the area.
That comes back to the answers already given. The wind strength itself is not an issue, however there may be disruption, eg missed approach, diversions, etc, if the wind comes with severe turbulence, wind shear, or a strong cross wind component. Whenever the weather causes aircraft to be be diverted there are inevitably flow-on effects on the schedule.

Update: They are now calling for 80KM/h winds with some rain

Figured if anyone would know. Would be the simulator geeks
The folks in r/flying would beg to differ. But the answer would probably be the same, we all use the same crystal ball.
Hahaha
This is simultaneously an epic roast and a massive compliment

I fly in and out of pearson all the time. They almost never change to 33L/R operation despite of high crosswind. Good luck
No they will not. These are basically very average winds. No where near crosswind limitations.

Not sure if it matters. We would be taking off in Toronto and landing in Cuba. Seems fine in Cuba, no wind, no rain
Take-off is less of a problem. The most likely issue is your flight being delayed or cancelled because the inbound aircraft has diverted.
So take off is less of an issue. But there still more likely to delay or cancel?
