Abbotsford isn't the size of Edinburgh (700,000) but it's a similar scenario. If Victoria wasn't separate by water, YXX wouldn't have a chance, but since it is...

YVR has a larger population base in proximity (both Indian and overall) and will always have better connections than YXX. You’re essentially suggesting a carrier would pass on YVR in favour of YXX, which I can’t imagine taking place. At best, maybe rotating service between the two, but even that is unrealistic.
Edinburgh isn’t exactly a good comparison as it gets millions of international tourist visits. Abbotsford on the other hand is neither a tourism nor business destination.
