When did westjet start charging more for one-ways versus return flights

Was looking at booking flights. For the first time ever I noticed that the one way flight priced significantly more than the return flight.

Previously I had always enjoyed the fact that Westjet flights priced per direction. One ways always appeared to be priced in the same way as return flights.

For example I was looking at booking YYJ-YYC-DUB for my family of 4 in business class.

The return flights Aug 13-21 in business was (outbound) $1792.66 with the return price of $1769.95 each
If I book as a one way, the return price is $1769.95 rather it is $2364.82
I booked last year DUB-YYC-YYJ and the one way in business class was the same as if I had booked it as a return. Has their one way pricing model changed??
