Their WS series are their studless ice and snow, while their LM series are more performance winter / snow tires.
The WS series are soft and mushy in the dry, but handle great in snow and ice. They also wear pretty quickly, as acurael states above.
They are likely overkill for Vancouver, but I go up to Cypress (which is pretty well cleared, even on snow days) and figure that I'll take the tradeoff in dry handling to have something that should be able to handle whatever the conditions may be.

Good point. You are right. The LM series is what I had on both the g35 and have on the 335xi currently. This is the performance low pro winters.
I did have the proper WS version of the blizzaks on my EL back in the day and they performed much better in the snow. Not good on dry as too mushy and soft
So basically try to stay away from winter performance tires if possible. Once you go 18 or 19s in blizzaks I think they only offer LM as far as I rmb.
