Give me a break folks. It makes perfect business sense to charge for AC to charge less LHR-YYZ-LHR than YYZ-LHR-YYZ. U.K. customers need to be given an incentive to choose AC (they are more likely to fly BA/Virgin).
I also can buy NYC-YYZ-NYC from a wholesaler in New York chealer than YYZ-NYC-YYZ.
Why the surprise?
I do the same in my business.

No, I find it cheaper to do YOW-LHR than LHR-YOW. In fact, if I do LHR-YOW, I do LHR-IAD/LGA on UA and then buy a separate ticket on LGA-YOW. Of course, cheaper = more hassles but more points. So, take your pick. (I'm a points whore, so I'll take the second option.)
