Yes it is recommended to have a return ticket when traveling to Canada especially for tourists... (People with a work permit or study permit doesn't need a return ticket.)
Most of the airlines would look for a return ticket. She might not get on the plane without one.
The airline may not allow her to board the flight + in case she is questioned at the POE then a return ticket will prove that she will not overstay her visit

This was 20 years ago, in 1996, when I first flew to the US and even then the airlines would not sell me a ticket unless I purchased a return ticket as well. They didn't care that I already had obtained a US visa. I can't imagine they've gotten less stringent nowadays.
The reason they refuse service without a return ticket has nothing to do with showing intent to return at the immigration counter in the destination country. It's to do with the fact that if, for whatever reason, you are refused entry by the immigration authorities of your destination, then they are legally required to fly you back to your departure point on the next scheduled flight, at their own expense. If their next flight is fully booked, they have to bump another ticketed passenger to accommodate you.
This is part of what the airlines have to agree to in order to be allowed to land their fleet planes on the host country's soil, and most countries impose this requirement on them. So the airlines, in turn, require you to have a return ticket as their insurance against this scenario. Well ... most airlines anyway. The ones that don't make you buy a return ticket are just absorbing the risk as part of the cost of doing business.
Note: this only applies if you're a traveling as a visitor, i.e. you're not a citizen or permanent resident of the destination country (in which case you can't legally be refused entry).
