Not hourly. While Via has increased frequencies and made them as close to hourly as possible, CN hasn't allowed them to achieve that. Six trains a day (it's actually 8 to Montreal) is okay service but not great. For example, there are 15 daily trains between Dublin and Cork. Stockholm to Gothenburg has 24. Edinburgh to Aberdeen has 16. All of these are less populated routes. And even if Via could manage to run that many trains, that still doesn't address the terrible on time performance that results from using CN track.
The Corridor has the best train service in Canada but it's still just okay at best. The fact that in other parts of Canada it's even worse doesn't change that.
