not familiar with Marine Atlantic but I can do some research, will get back to you.

2 - is it only West Jet that you can book online from your site? Do you have similar booking deals with CanJet, AirCanada, or SunWing?

no..I have a direct click through on my site for westjet, but, you can do a flight search through my booking engine for the other companies. Air Canada has gotten totally away from providing Travel Agencies with any form of commission, so now in order to book them, we have to do an agency surcharge. If you were to book an Aircanada flight, you would be best off to do it directly on their website. My feelings would not be hurt. P.S. Westjet is a much better airline!!!!

3 - this isn't really a major thing, no need to do any research or anything, but I was curious what the cheapest airfare you've seen from Halifax to Calgary was, or might be. I doubt I'll be making it out west any time in the near future, but I always like to think of the possibility (perhaps for the 2007 SCF? )

I have found that offseason flights tend to be a bit cheaper, but I spoke with Westjet a while back and they advised me that when the flight first comes online, its always the cheapest then. As the plane starts to fill up, the prices at westjet start to increase. They advise that they have 7 diffrent price levels so prices increase rather quickly as the plane becomes fuller. Best thing to do is check as soon as you know you want to fly.

4 - also, are your hot deals exclusively for Calgary, or do you have any from other cities in Canada (such as Edmonton, Vancouver for some of the other readers here, or in my own self-interest, Halifax or Sydney?)

you can book out of anywhere in canada through us. I am not limited to Calgary and more specifically Edmonton. If you want to fly from Halifax or Sydney that can be arranged. Just remember, most sun destinations go through Toronto or Montreal out your way. Cheese just booked with me and he lives in Waterloo, so I was able to book him out of TO.
