Vancouver to Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna, Winnipeg, and Toronto - $156 to $302 CAD roundtrip including taxes
7
January
After yesterday's announcement by NewLeaf involving their plan to offer cheap flights from Abbotsford, WestJet has thrown back a punch of their own, by offering flights from both Abbotsford AND Vancouver to Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Kelowna, and Toronto at prices that are far below their typical bottom levels (over 40% less than usual).
It's no coincidence that these are the same destinations NewLeaf targeted with their launch yesterday, and are being offered at similar price levels.
It would not be surprising to see Air Canada follow suit.
Both are likely to be aggressive with attempting to throttle new competition out of the Canadian marketplace.

NOTE: WestJet's website seems to be having technical difficulties at the moment. It might be overloaded due to the traffic coming from YYZ Deals (Toronto counterpart of YVR Deals). Hopefully it will be back online soon.
If you don't want to wait, you can try taking the same dates you found on Google Flights, and trying a search on Expedia.ca or Flight Network or ITravel2000. They are showing these fares as well.
