Those are newer 737s, which are almost an entirely different aircraft except for the fuselage. I think Westjet has gotten rid of all their 'classic' 737s, the sort of which Canadian North and First Air fly.
Incidentally, Canadian North and First Air wouldn't be able to fly the newer 737s on many of their routes. Presently they fly them into several airports that only have gravel runways (generally practical in the arctic). The newer 737s can't land on gravel runways, I believe partly because the engines don't have great enough clearance from the ground.
