Funny enough the BA 767 went mechanical here last night.

My question is this, will the parallel runways accommodate the flight traffic that would be beyond +35M passengers? (As well freight) Or would it reach capacity limits, where it would be practical to build another parallel runway to relieve pressure?

Addick is pretty much bang on, if YYC does ever get that busy you'd see flights operated with larger aircraft. London Heathrow only operates with two parallel runways and pushes through 72 million passengers a year. Lots of large aircraft making up the traffic there.
