The major papers are:

Vancouver Province, 1894–2020

The 30,877,928 records count the deceased and those mentioned in the obit separately.
As shown by the bar chart for the number of entries in the decennial years, the database is particularly valuable toward the end of the 20th century when official records are not usually available.

Went to check this out using my 'Canadian Deluxe Membership' at Ancestry.ca for DEVLIN obituaies published in Ontario, Canada. Index worked fine, but as soon as I clicked for the document was informed that I have to upgrade to 'World Deluxe Membership' to be able to access the info.
