We are not France yet. But if we become like France (which would be super great), Gare du Nord is still the main hub, by a long shot, for Paris, notwithstanding stations at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Nobody is suggesting that Pearson would be the main hub. If Pearson became the terminus for HFR and Lakeshore East services, Union would still be the largest VIA hub, in no small part because Union is GO largest hub and the most important subway stop in the city. Extending to Pearson though would improve convenience and eliminate transfers.
Montreal/Dorval is the same story. Though I'd argue that Dorval would see substantially more traffic from Ottawa and Kingston with HFR.
