Air Canada wants to be profitable, not creative. The model from the 90's is dead. Its all about your hubs today, and Air Canada will maximize all of its hubs. The timing of this slot looks to be best for Western Canada, if thats the case its going to YVR.
Calgary is a good corporate market, and has some feed for Air Canada. Edmonton has essentially 0. Vancouver is a real hub and work off connections across Western Canada and Western USA plus o&d.
