The days that we are flying there and back, have no connections in Toronto.

I guess there are still issues with bringing back employees and re-building with new staff. It will take another year or two to get themselves back to where they were. And who knows what that will look like down the road.
That is not ideal. When I use to live in Saskatoon, WestJet would have a morning Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton etc that arrived into Winnipeg at about the same time. The aircraft would then continue off to Toronto, Montreal, London and Ottawa. The reverse happening in the evening. Doing the connection in Winnipeg was much nicer that back-tracking through Calgary. That was even during the time Winnipeg had the old terminal that was a crappy experience.
