Why a paycheque isn't salary ÷ 26

The tables average the year's deductions over every pay. Real pay stubs move: CPP and EI come off each pay only until you reach their yearly maximums, so on higher salaries the last pays of the year run bigger than the first. Each paycheque page shows the pay where each deduction stops.

Bi-weekly means 26 pays, not 24 — so two months a year bring three paycheques. Semi-monthly (twice a month, 24 pays) is a different schedule with bigger, fewer pays; both land on the same yearly take-home.
