While you're somewhat correct and I agree with you a lot of these flights are likely because there are better flights from YYC to the rest of the world than Edmonton. I've got a buddy who lives in Edmonton and 99% of his flights anywhere (excluding Calgary) fly through Calgary.
So a large portion of those YYC - YYG and back flights may be taking people to and from non-calgary destinations.
That said, I know plenty of people that flight to-from Calgary/Edmonton.
