True that I am taking Advanced Micro and Advanced Macro at Carleton in the Winter, but the admission decisions will be made by the time the grades come out for those courses.

So effectively, my application will be banking on my ECON 4001 and Econometrics course grade unless the admission committees at the universities I will be applying to are kind enough to consider the mid-term grades of Advanced Micro and Macro in the Winter.

So the bottomline question is: do I stand a reasonable chance of getting in to UBC or U of T with As in the Maths and Econometrics course at Carleton?
that's a tough one. they want to see at least 2 semesters worth of intermediate theory courses, as minimum. however i know a guy who deferred intermediate macro ii final and therefore his grade was not included when he finished the application (only sent in intro macro and intermediate macro i) but he got into queen's and was waitlisted at western. but he did not get into UToronto or UBC. his gpa was around 3.9 ish, and graduated with distinction, and was TA for tons of courses. but he did not have much math. around the same as what you listed. i'd say you'd have a better chance at queen's than UT or UBC, to be honest.
