I concur that this is likely temporary through YYZ only. That's why many routings are same-plane, multi-stop.
As soon as there is critical mass to do a single flight a day YUL-YVR, you'd be sure that they'll stop connecting pax thr=
ough YYZ. They price YYZ-YUL at $400 and YYZ-YVR at $400+, but they definitely don't do YUL-YVR at $900+, they charge $50=
0+ (as that is what the market will bear)... so if they don't do the connection through YYZ, they can keep the margins pe=
r route high.
Mind you SouthWest figured that out 20 years ago!

Not sure this is true. My wife and kids recently flew Tango from YUL thru YYZ to YVR and the bags were tagged through to=
YVR (I was at check-in helping them out). Unless of course there's been a recent policy change, or this only applies to=
certain key connections thru YYZ.
