According to Elon musk's paper, this technology doesn't make sense for further routes, as supersonic planes probably make more sense at that point.
Also, the route needs to be straight and flat. Getting a line to Vancouver would have huge costs I would imagine.
If this technology works, Calgary to Edmonton would be a great candidate for where it could work well.
