WestJet may be based in Calgary but they have long since been a "national" airline. The niche that they are looking at is occupied in the east by Air Canada Express (Jazz) and Porter, but if they want to boost their business in Atlantic Canada and win new customers from smaller markets, I think that they will seriously consider year round expansion to SJ, Freddy and Ch'town.
I am worried that they will use this as an excuse to get rid of 737 service to Moncton and replace it will "improved service frequency" on the new regional airline. This would be both a good and bad thing if it were to happen.
