By heck, Vancouver is popular with the Irish.
Aer Lingus does 12 flights a day.
Why are so many people going there?
 
With 12 flights a day there wont be anyone left :D

It might be worth looking into next time as we came back BA on Friday and between them and Air Canada we had 10.5 hours in the airport, although there are much worse airports to be stuck in..
 
Isn't it all about Air Passenger Duty. IIRC, The Republic of Ireland abolished APD, whereas a direct flight to Vancouver from the UK would cost £78/156 dependant on seat pitch, more in 1st. At a stroke, this impacted heavily on the NI International flights, where I think they lost around one million passengers p.a. at a stroke of the Chancellors pen. Same with the US, where RoI even has US Immigration checks prior to boarding.

Obviously only suits those with time to organise low risk connection timings.
