Now maybe its possible someone in the drug world wrongly thought she was snitching and ordered a hit....
Bottom line is she was targeted well in advance for a semi professional hit at the very least and no clear motive that I can figure out

I think the fact that the burner phone had been purchased in Vancouver in November, then only activated in late January, would mean either a) someone was plotting this specific murder months in advance, or b) someone had a regular need for burner phones and kept a supply on hand to activate for each purpose, as required, after they could be sure the video footage of the purchase couldn't be retrieved.
IMO, there really aren't such highly professional hitmen doing business in Vancouver, or if there was, an ordinary guy couldn't afford them. Instead, it's standard operating procedure for someone who's involved in the drug trade.
My other comment is, the drug bust in Calgary which police have pointed to as being possibly connected, was not "just" $10 million in actual cocaine seized. It was also probably the disruption or potential arrest of the people who were importing it from Mexico, which over time could amount to hundreds of millions.
If you remember all the violence in Mexico in those days, it was routine for gangs to brutally kill people and practically display their mutilated bodies. This wasn't so much done to hurt those specific people, but rather to serve as a warning to everyone else: Don't mess with us or this is what will happen to you.
IMO, killing Lindsay in this way wasn't just to punish her for possibly snitching, it might also have been done as a warning to everyone involved in this drug operation: those who had been arrested and those still outside, to say 'I told you this is what we will do to you or your loved ones if you snitch, we mean it'.
