Air Canada has shown that they have little interest in anything other than feeding their major international routes.

As well with limited numbers of Q400s available at this time they are discovering that the west is very very busy and they are not only sending the new Q400s west but shifting some of the airframes from east to west. Out east they just aren't as full on certain routes.

Price wise, you are subject to the joys of a route monopoly. Your best bet is if a competitor decides to try their luck.
Oh I know exactly how it works. I'd assume that WestJet would want to capitalize on a profitable route, which would in turn cause AC to react. The exact same reason they upgraded the YYC-Grand Prarie route.
