Those are the only major centers of HK population--the only places you'll find full-time HK newspapers (daily w/ local office) and Cantonese radio stations (>12 h/d).

For a while it was LAX-ANC-HKG. And for a time DL was mileage partner with UA--I'm not sure if it overlapped with the LAX-HKG service.

The Cantonese speaking population in YVR comes from many places, though.
I know people that came from CAN/SZX/SGN/HAN/HAK that can speak Cantonese, but the main one is HKG.
I can get Chinese newspapers in other Canadian cities too (YYC/YEG being an example, with dushi, ga wah bo, etc.)
