There is a reason domestic/int'l are separated. The new terminal's perceived inefficiencies all stem from the separation of int'l, domestic and transborder pax. When you consider how logistically difficult it is to incorporate swing gates into this concept, the reason for the walking distances becomes clear. It's still not perfect, but it's not as awful given the massive hurdle.
Ozy has conveniently not mentioned that a third of YEG's terminal north of central is horrific and remains renovated, a far worse aesthetic than anything on any concourse here. "Third world" one might call it, since that's a thing now.
