One destination is a tourist spot where Hawaiians have no reason to go to Vancouver in the same quantity as Canadians to Hawaii.

Considering the amount of Indians and Indian business interests in Surrey and Toronto, it's not the "same phenomina".
You're comparing seasonal sun-runs to year round business routes.
