The Terry Fox extension is cheap; IIRC it was costed at something like $750M--although that was before the Phase 2 cost blew up, so maybe a little over $1B now.

Fallowfield is probably more complicated - there's a ROW from Baseline station down to Knoxdale, but from Knoxdale to Hunt Club they'd have to tunnel. Plus there's the railway crossing. But in fairness that VIA separation has to happen anyway, LRT or no LRT. Barrhaven already has a Transitway that provides decent enough service.

Honestly, I don't think extensions to Kanata or Barrhaven really have solid business cases.
