Was Vancouver ever daily? Toronto certainly was but Vancouver was one or twice weekly combined with Calgary if I recall. You're right to say the market died, but unusually, it has come back to life. Air Canada abandoned first GLA and later MAN with only the coming of Zoom opening Canada up as a proper holiday destination. Zoom and flyglobespan did the legwork and allowed Westjet and Air Canada Rouge step up and take the spoils.
Rouge launched EDI and MAN with GLA regaining it's link last year.
All good news IMHO
