Mostly Winnipeg-Edmonton and Winnipeg-Toronto. Many trips on both segments. The Edmonton-Vancouver segment I rode less often but still probably around 10 times over the years. Although my last trip out of Manitoba by VIA was over a decade ago.
Any prospect of me taking VIA to Edmonton again went out the window when the schedule was lengthened again. It used to be that you would leave Winnipeg in the evening and be in Edmonton at the crack of dawn the next day... now it takes nearly 2x as long as driving. With $100 (one-way) sale airfares, there's just no point.
