I agree that there's lots of business travel YVR-YYZ. But there are also lots more flights, with much bigger front cabins than a single E190 with 9 seats per day.

I would not presume that award space is always easier to get SEA-YYZ; it all depends on the date. Mrs. Transportprof has a nice pod on a 777 booked in Saver First with MP miles on her family visit east (YVR-YYZ-CMH) next month.
