It may be something of a long shot, but I still hope Watson and/or Laroche (OMCIAA CEO) are pursuing this strongly.
There may be some merit to this thinking. Porter would need to re-introduce some of the YTZ-YOW flights. Possibly also putting on YUL-YOW. Points east would need to be considered.

Porter would need to evaluate the potential for stable routes from YOW with feed provided by YTZ, YUL and points east.

I'm not holding up much hope that this will happen, but it might.
